The University of Guelph is committed to providing every undergraduate student with high-quality academic advising, in order to assist them in the development and pursuit of academic objectives consistent with their life goals and the available opportunities at the University.

Academic advising at Guelph is delivered by a team. That team includes academic advisors [1] (faculty advisors and program counsellors), the Undergraduate Academic Information Centre [2] (UAIC), the Associate Vice-President Academic [3] and others.

Coordinating all activity is the University's Council on Undergraduate Academic Advising [4] (CUAA). CUAA has responsibility for the overall direction and policy of campus advising systems.
