Mission: Academic advising at ASU-Newport seeks to build relationships that support and empower students to reach their academic and professional goals. 

Academic advising is strongly encouraged for all students of ASU-Newport. As many studies in both college retention and completion have shown, academic advising plays a pivotal role in helping students complete their degree in a timely manner. To help facilitate this learning process, Academic Advisors are available to meet with new students during one-on-one advising appointments. Returning students are encouraged to schedule an advising session with their assigned Advisor.

What is a Success Coach and Faculty Advisor?

All ASUN students are assigned a professional advisor (student success coach) and a faculty advisor.  Both advisors serve an excellent academic resource and mentor for ASUN students. 

• When does the success coach get assigned? WHen does the faculty advsior get assigned?
  Professional advisors are assigned at the time of acceptance to ASUN. Within the student's first semester, an academic advisor is assigned. 
  
  
• How are the faculty advisors assigned?
  Assignments are based on the student's academic program of study.
  
  
• How long is my advisor with me?
  You will have your academic and professional advisor thorughout your duration at ASUN. Your academic advisor will be updated with any changes in your academic program.

Role of Student Success Coaches

ASU-Newport Student Success Coaches intentionally spend time building rapport and trust with their advisees. Success Coaches will learn about each advisee’s strengths, skills, and abilities. Success Coaches will encourage and challenge students to dream about their future and then co-create a plan to help students achieve their goals. During this entire process, advisors are committed to maintaining an appropriate level of confidentiality as required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Processes advisors may assist students with include: degree and career exploration, designing an academic plan, registering for courses, supplying information on transfer options and/or employment opportunities, and providing information on student services such as tutoring.
