Exemplary academic advising and support plays an important role in the success of our undergraduate students. Therefore, the Office of the Associate Vice–President of Student Success, Policy, and Planning (Academic Affairs) is delighted to launch the Excellence in Academic Advising Award, which aims to recognize our Academic (CAAR) and Faculty Advisors who have demonstrated unwavering commitment to providing and/or improving the quality of academic advising, retention, and success of our students.
Objective
The goal of this initiative is to facilitate student success by:
- Recognizing and rewarding outstanding advisors who are cognizant of, and actively employs, best practices in academic advising services;
- Fostering greater awareness and support for effective academic advising;
- Enhancing the professional development of fellow advisors;

Each year, two (2) advisors – one Academic (CAAR) and one Faculty – are expected to be selected and awarded USD 1,000 each, which MUST be used for professional development opportunities ONLY and MUST be utilized within TWO (2) years upon being awarded.
