ADVISING INFORMATION FOR FACULTY ADVISORS   Each Marywood University matriculating graduate student is assigned an academic advisor from the faculty to provide information and guidance in planning and completing an academic program. The primary purpose of academic advising is to provide effective guidance so that students can maximize the educational opportunities available at Marywood University and make critical decisions regarding education, career, and life goals. Graduate students must receive approval from their academic advisor before registering for courses.  Effective academic advising requires a partnership between the advisee and advisor. An effective advisor helps advisees plan their academic programs, identify internships and/or summer work experiences to confirm and prepare them for their chosen careers. The effective advisor helps advisees achieve their personal and professional goals and potential. Successful academic advising depends on the ability of the advisor and advisee to recognize the nature of the academic advising process, address specific components of academic advising, and together be responsible in the advising process. With these goals in mind, the following resources can help to answer questions about academic advising and to assist the advisor in making the most of academic advising sessions:   NACADA: National Academic Advising Association http://www.ksu.edu/nacada/ NACADA Statement of Core Values of Advising http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Clearinghouse/Research_Related/corevalues.htm NACADA Academic Advising Standards and Guidelines http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Clearinghouse/Research_Related/CAS.htm Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) http://www.ed.gov/offices/OII/fpco/ferpa/ MU Registrar's Office http://www.marywood.edu/registrar/registrarmenu1.stm MU Graduate Admissions Office http://www.marywood.edu/Admissions/Graduate/index.stm MU Career Services  http://www.marywood.edu/www2/stu_life/career/index.html
