Work Performed

ACADEMIC ADVISING:
Arts Academic Advising builds holistic relationships with students with the end of furthering students' development. Through students' questions about degree planning advisors make connections between academic planning, academic learning, personal career aspirations, and physical and mental health. Doing so, they contribute to students' development of wider perspective. Academic advisors identify students at risk or in crisis and create an environment in which those students are able to acknowledge difficulties and seek further help. The tools with which advisors build these relationships are: program planning with students, career planning, evaluation of students' academic performance, and conferring academic concessions. Academic Advisors' primary advising duties are to:
- Assess students' academic records and histories in order to help students identify academic specializations in line with their personal and career goals. To do this, advisors must be able to probe students' interests as many will be undecided in these goals.- Inform students about the requirements for admissions to majors and for degree-completion. Advisors teach students to manage complex information, including how to use the tools available for ongoing degree planning. They evaluate students' use of these tools; they investigate and resolve any discrepancies or technical difficulties.- Coach students regarding post-graduation options (careers, post-graduate studies). Depending on their assessment of the student's self-awareness and knowledge, advisors provide information, refer appropriately, and encourage students to take action. Advisors must maintain knowledge of career advising, graduate studies, and professional programs to do this.- Investigate and resolve inquiries from other campus units i.e., Admissions, Enrolment Services, Access and Diversity, Counselling Services and other UBC Faculties and University units.-
- Identify when current University and Faculty policy or program guidelines fail to address current realities for students or cause problems beyond indi
