Why this Role is Important

Reporting to the Operations Manager, CAF – Fanshawe, the Academic Advisor (AA) supports the academic lifecycle of students by offering academic and personal advising to students grounded in developmental, proactive advising and lifecycle approaches; actively participates in college retention and student success initiatives; and completes a wide variety of administrative, data-tracking and reporting duties in support of student success.

As a vital link between the Academic Schools and other College services, the AA provides support to program areas where they are assigned to provide advising services. The AA actively participates as a team member in meetings and regular day-to-day operations of their assigned Academic Schools and Programs.

Responsibilities

As a key point of contact for students in their respective Academic Programs or target populations, the AA must be able to respond to, investigate and resolve a diverse number of inquiries from students, staff, faculty, and other departments. Responsibilities include:

Advising - Advising students via individual, group, online, social media, and presentation formats;

Support - Identifying barriers to a students’ success and offering the student choices/options that will assist them in overcoming these barriers;

Outreach - Implementing outreach strategies for students deemed ‘at-risk’ in cooperation with academic faculty, student services staff, and counterparts in other schools and service areas of the college;

Intervention & Retention – using student success processes and practices, conducts student success activities such as following up with students who do not attend class, or are deemed “at-risk” of leaving early (by faculty) to intervene and provide support and resources that promote retention (i.e. accessing remediation and learning resources);

Referrals - Listening to student concerns, assessing the issue/concern brought forward by the student, and taking action by providing educational support (i.e., note taking skills, how to study for an exam, etc.) and making appropriate referrals (i.e. Counselling and Accessibility Services, learning services, Fanshawe International Centre, faculty, peer tutors, security, Ombuds etc.).

Facilitate Problem Solving - Using College information systems and resources to investigate problems and provide advocacy in response to student requests, concerns, or complaints; advise and support students in the development and implementation of their own success plans guided by course requirements and availability; assist students and other staff in making changes to the courses the student is taking (i.e., adding or dropping a course or withdrawing the student from a course or courses or by creating a revised progression plan for the student).

Transition & Orientation – working collaboratively with members of the respective schools and other college departments to provide support to prospective students and confirmed applicants for the purpose of recruitment, marketing, admissions, as well as, similar transition and orientation activities to ensure a strong program choice, career clarity and overall smooth transition to college;

Answering Questions - Answering a wide variety of inquiries from staff, students, other departments about college programs and services related to student success (i.e. programs of study, exemptions, PLAR, pathways to other institutions, and graduation);

About

Presentations & Knowledge Transfer - Preparing and disseminating general information about College services, and programs of study, through presentations to small and large groups of students; presenting college designed materials fostering student learning and development (i.e. study tips, time management); encourage student engagement in academic life through recreation programming, special events; sharing information, advice and strategies related to student success with faculty, academic managers and staff:

Data Tracking & Reporting - Collecting, tracking, recording and reporting data specific to student success performance and related trends. Reporting will include departmental data specific to student retention and success.

Skills

The Academic Advisor (AA) effectively communicates with students, understands and interprets policies and procedures, follows institutional protocols, maintains student records, utilizes technology and engages in problem-solving. These activities are categorized into three distinct skill sets of interpersonal, operational, and analytical skills:

Interpersonal Skills are used throughout the advising interaction by; 1) demonstrating caring (i.e., ask student about successes, challenges, and adjustment to academic life). 2) Inquire and validate the student’s experience and perceptions based on developmental theory and AA’s experience using open-ended questions to increase understanding. 3) Provide support and encouragement to reduce anxiety about academic concerns (offer congratulations, support a good decision, or offer supports for challenging programs such as tutoring). Sensitivity, compassion, patience and respect for confidentiality are required.

Operational Skills are required to investigate complaints from students who describe having completed a task that is identified as being incomplete (i.e., having submitted a request). Strategies include; assisting the student to complete the necessary documents, sending email to another area in the college, calling to invite others to a meeting to resolve an issue, 4) elevating the challenge to the Manager or Executive Director as appropriate. The AA uses college information systems and best practices for accessing student data and develops an organized system to categorize issues and provide follow-up,

Analytical Thinking is required to provide links to resources, reference material and policies. The AA maximizes the student experience by anticipating their needs, understanding the organizational system, and problem-solving on behalf of the student. Advisors will investigate situations to understand underlying causes, which may contribute to the current situation, and provide comprehensive information to the student. When issues are identified at a system level the advisor is responsible to forward these items to administration.
