UAS Sitka academic advisors assist students from the time of first inquiries through the time when they graduate with UAS Sitka degrees. How much you use this valuable resource is up to you. Regular contact with an advisor — in person, by telephone, by email or otherwise — can be a key to your success as a student.
For many UAS degree programs, students will work with two advisors: a Student Success advisor in Sitka, and a faculty advisor from the campus where the program is hosted. If you are in doubt as to whom to contact, start with your Student Success advisor, who can put you in touch with the right person.
Important times and reasons to contact an academic advisor:
- To discuss educational goals and career plans
- To explore options in choosing an onsite or online degree program
- Before applying to a UAS degree program
- When following the Next Steps Checklist for Entering a Program
- To prepare for the first semester of UAS classes
- When developing a plan of study
- To select, schedule and register for classes before every semester
- To learn about and connect to other university resources
- To review academic progress or financial aid status at any time during a degree
- To work through class, instructor, or study concerns during the semester
- When troubleshooting issues or processing academic petitions or financial aid appeals
- To navigate university requirements and policies
- To be sure to graduate within your planned timeframe
