Frequently Asked Questions
What does an Academic Advisor do?

When should I hire an Academic Advisor?
Consider hiring one when student numbers increase, academic advising demand grows, faculty spend significant time providing course guidance, student retention becomes a priority, or your institution wants to improve progression and graduation outcomes.

Academic Advisors commonly work with Ellucian Banner, CampusNexus, PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, Classe365, Stellic, Degree Works, Salesforce Education Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and other student information, degree planning, CRM, and collaboration platforms.
How is an Academic Advisor different from a Student Support Specialist?

How is an Academic Advisor different from a Registrar Assistant?
A Registrar Assistant manages academic records, enrolment administration, and institutional documentation. An Academic Advisor uses that information to guide students in making informed academic decisions and planning their educational pathway.
Can an Academic Advisor improve student retention?
Yes. By providing proactive academic guidance, monitoring student progress, identifying potential challenges early, and helping students make informed decisions, an Academic Advisor can improve student engagement, retention, and graduation outcomes.
Is this role suitable for offshore support?
Yes. Cloud-based student information systems, degree planning platforms, CRM software, video conferencing tools, and collaboration platforms allow offshore Academic Advisors to communicate with students, maintain advising records, and work closely with faculty and student services teams from anywhere.
Which responsibilities should remain with academic leadership?
Leadership should continue to own curriculum design, academic strategy, programme development, graduation standards, institutional policies, and educational quality. Your Academic Advisor manages student advising, academic planning, course guidance, progress monitoring, policy interpretation, student referrals, and advising documentation.
