**Campus**: St. George (Downtown Toronto)

**Description**:
**About us**:
The Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto offers graduate programs in architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, forestry, and visual studies — as well as unique undergraduate programs that use architectural studies and visual studies as a lens through which students may pursue a broad, liberal arts-based education. Its mission is to educate students, prepare professionals, and cultivate scholars who will play a leading role in creating more culturally engaged, ecologically sustainable, socially just, and artfully conceived environments.

The greater Toronto region serves as a dynamic laboratory for both its students and faculty, while the University of Toronto, which year after year ranks among the top universities in the world, provides a wealth of knowledge and expertise that they can draw from. Like Toronto, Daniels students and faculty are incredibly cosmopolitan in sensibility, hailing from every part of the world, with their work crossing all sorts of geographic and cultural boundaries. The city’s multicultural networks and international connections make the Daniels Faculty a powerful place to start a career.

The Academic Advisor advises students on admissions, program and course selection, fees and finances, student records, petitions and requests for special consideration, and general UofT, Daniels, SGS and Arts & Science policies and procedures. The Academic Advisor assists students with a wide range of academic issues, including interpretation of University policies and procedures, choosing courses and programs, meeting degree requirements, managing personal or health issues which impact their academic progress, and planning pathways for their future. The incumbent provides referrals to students who require specialized services to other supports on campus, including the Accessibility Services, the Career Education & Exploration Centre, the Academic Success Centre, the Centre for International Experience, Indigenous Student Services, and other university offices. The work of the Academic Advisor is accomplished through both scheduled and drop-in appointments, as well as group sessions and seminars.

The Academic Advisor works as a collaborative member of the Daniels advising team, assisting with the delivery of first year initiatives and events, the development of presentations and workshops for Daniels students, and the provision of front-line advising services in the Registrar’s Office. The incumbent contributes to the development of enhanced registrarial and advising services for students to promote academic success, increase student retention, and improve the overall student experience at Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design.

This role is not currently eligible for a hybrid work arrangement, pursuant to University polocies and guidelines, including but not limited to the University of Toronto’s Alternative Work Arrangements Guideline.
