Advising is a part of teaching and learning. As such,
advising is a responsibility shared by faculty and students. The advising
process within FSUBusiness fosters an atmosphere in which each
student feels welcomed, heard, responded to, and respected as an individual.
FSUBusiness advisors demonstrate high ethical standards and serve
as positive role models.
The FSUBusiness Advising Center is a support
program for both faculty and students. The Center supports the advising
process by:
providing recordkeeping support for advising needs
assisting with preparation of appropriate advising
materials
coordinating scheduling of classes, labs, and certain
student events
coordinating work with students on probation
providing development opportunities to assist faculty
to become better advisors and to assist students to meet their educational
planning responsibilities
assessing advising effectiveness and recognizing
excellence
encouraging continuous improvement in all advising
processes
Each student will find a support structure
for developing meaningful educational plans that are compatible with his
or her life goals. FSUBusiness provides advising support through
three primary support avenues:
A faculty advisor for one-on-one consultation,
the FSUBusiness Advising Center for supplemental
support, and
Professional Development I and II courses for
foundational knowledge and peer interactions.
As a result of the advising process, students
should be able to:
locate and understand institutional policies and
procedures in order to develop a degree completion plan,
identify and utilize relevant campus resources,
find solutions to academic and career-planning
issues,
develop an educational plan and a career preparation
strategy, and
articulate and implement personal, educational,
and career goals.
