Academic and career advising are important parts of Boise State University's commitment to the process of educating the student. Advising involves both an interaction process designed to facilitate student development and the communication of accurate information regarding degree programs, courses, resources, college policies/procedures, and career opportunities, all with the objective of helping students attain their educational goals. The academic and career advising process is one which leads students to:

• become well informed about policies and procedures, curricular options and academic program requirements.
• clearly define their educational objectives.
• plan programs which incorporate their interests, abilities, and career goals.
• make full use of the facilities and resources available at Boise State University.

Boise State University is committed to providing high quality academic and career advising to students in all academic programs. Attaining this goal requires that both advisors and students understand and embrace their respective roles in the advising process.

Boise State University recognizes academic career advising as an integral part of your educational experience. Based on your individual circumstances, personal development and academic interests, academic advising provides an opportunity to work with a professional expert who will guide you in educational decisions.
