Advising and Support
Student Experience Advisors
Student Experience is committed to supporting students’ personal and academic goals and helping them to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive both at university, and after they graduate. Advisors in Student Experience act as a central connection for students looking for direct support and information about campus resources and programs. Student Experience Advisors work with students on topics including:
- Support with personal, financial, academic, cultural, housing and employment concerns
- Transition support from pre-orientation to post-graduation (e.g. navigating campus, homesickness, wayfinding)
- Referrals to support services, programs and staff both on and off campus
- Connections to other students, community groups and resources
Wondering what the difference is between an Advisor and the Counsellors in Counselling Services?
An Advisor is a staff member that provides information about the many supports and resources available to students. An Advisor can guide and assist you in navigating the university system, explaining and clarifying institutional policies, describing the overarching expectations of students, and facilitating connections with other campus or community supports, resources or services.
Students can also access Counselling Services in the University Centre on the 3rd floor.
