Our Mission

The mission of UNC Advising is to assist students with all aspects of their academic planning while providing a foundation for appropriate academic decisions throughout their undergraduate studies.

The UNC Advising Program does this by helping students:

• Develop educational plans consistent with their interests, abilities, and goals
• Identify courses to enhance skills and interests, and choose a major field of study
• Understand course choices within available course offerings
• Become familiar with and follow academic policies, rules, procedures, and requirements
• Maintain the required scholastic standards by identifying strategies and resources for academic success
• Make timely and satisfactory progress toward a degree
• Utilize appropriate campus resources
