Transition Supports for Students

• After being accepted and before attending Orientation, new undecided students may have specific transition concerns addressed in an ASU Prep appointment with a staff member in Academic Advisement.
• Academic Advisors from Academic Advisement can be found on campus to answer questions through "The Advisor Is In" during the first weeks of the term, shortly before midterm, during early registration and before finals.
• Q&A handouts answering questions common to new students are available on a variety of topics. These informational topics can be found on MOO, in our office, and via our website at http://www.aug.edu/umac.

Advising Undecided Students

• One of the primary functions of Academic Advisement is to serve as the advising department for undergraduate students with fewer than 40 semester hours earned who are as yet undecided about their majors. Academic Advisement is staffed full time by specially trained academic advisors to assist these students in formulating their educational plans.
• Each term, Academic Advisement communicates throughout the term with our enrolled advisees.. In addition to important dates and registration information, these emails include connections to campus resources to help students choose majors and connect to campus resources.
• To introduce students to the process of selecting a major, we offer Major Decisions, a special guidebook for undecided advisees. This guide identifies campus resources and takes an undecided student through each step in the process of choosing a major at Augusta State University.

Advising Supports for the Campus Community

• Academic Advisement also provides campus-wide training and support for academic advisors and support staff wishing to upgrade their skills through the Advisors' Workshops. Several topics are offered in this series sponsored jointly by Academic Advisement and the Registrar.
• The center continues advisor support with Advisors' Notes newsletters published prior to each registration period. These web posts provide faculty members and support staff with the latest information on changes in the registration process.
• To assist students in understanding the advising process, Academic Advisement and the Registrar present special Advising Edge programs at key points in the term. These initiatives encourage students to connect to their degree programs and take an active role in the advising relationship.
