English Abstract
In the world of academic advising, the foundation of student’s learning, educational experience and success do not rely solely on the competency, knowledge of the academic milieu and counseling skills of academic advisors.
As the student population increases and the universities become more diversified in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the development of an effective advising delivery system is integral to support the growing needs of students.
This paper gives insights on the actual advising practices and systems implemented in Abu Dhabi University (ADU) over the last three years.
Academic advisors serve as the focal point between the different units of the institution and students.
Understanding the core principles of academic advising is one of the fundamental requirements for an effective long-lasting relationship between the advisor and the advisee that assures shared responsibility and life-long learning experience.
In addition to that, accuracy and consistency are critical components in the systematic advising of the students towards the successful achievement of their goals.
This paper details the development, growth and outcomes of the Academic Advising Unit in ADU.
It entails the advisement strategies used for various areas like retention, supporting and ensuring student engagement and success as well as recruitment activities.
The Advising model used at ADU is also reflected upon which is hybrid involving both faculty and academic advisors and focuses on retention-based advising approach which is proactive and intensive.
An in-depth analysis is made on the principles, overall practices and technology used for academic advising here at Abu Dhabi University.
