Advisors provide accurate information to students in a mentoring environment, challenging them to reflect on interests, skills and aptitudes, to think critically about goals and objectives, to select courses and majors, to have a graduation plan and to consider career options.At UCONN Stamford, academic advising is shared by professional advisors and faculty advisors. The professional advisors in the Advising Center advise students who are not yet in their major (ACES). Once students are accepted into a major, they are assigned a faculty advisor. Professional advisors also supplement the extensive advising that occurs between faculty and their advisees.
