Academic advising is vital for student navigation and retention in colleges. Surveys indicate over half of college students are not adequately advised on essential coursework. Awareness of academic advising resources is low among students, with only 65 percent recognizing their availability. Trust in academic advisers exists among 75 percent of students, but challenges like high caseloads and low engagement persist. Resources to support advisers include tools like journey maps created by students to showcase the gap between expectations and reality for students during their college experience.
A 2023 Student Voice survey found that just over half (55 percent) of college students said they were advised on their required coursework for graduation. This highlights a serious gap in academic advising services.
According to a 2024 report by Tyton Partners, high caseloads, a lack of coordination among departments, and low student engagement with resources are top challenges advisers face in promoting student success.
