Seattle University recognizes that academic advising is integral to the achievement of our educational mission. Academic advising at Seattle University is guided by our values: care, academic excellence, diversity, faith, justice, and leadership.

Academic advising helps students to plan wisely their educational path with personal and professional development always in view, to take full advantage of the academic and co-curricular programs of the university, and to develop strong personal connections with the university community. Academic advising is an intentional partnership among students, their faculty, and other appropriate university personnel whose goal is to help students develop themselves to the fullest extent possible as educated persons, as engaged citizens, and as fully competent professionals and leaders.

All participants in the partnership of academic advising are responsible for the successful, collaborative achievement of the goals of academic advising. To achieve these goals, the University commits itself to providing excellent training, support, and recognition of advisors as well as providing students and advisors with timely and accurate information concerning its processes and policies.
