Who should a student consult regarding GPA, educational goals, and degree requirements?

Consulting an advisor is essential for students seeking guidance on GPA, educational goals, and degree requirements. Advisors typically possess a deep understanding of the academic policies and procedures within the institution. They can provide personalized support tailored to the student's specific situation and help in clarifying what courses are needed to meet degree requirements.

Advisors are also equipped to guide students in setting and achieving their educational goals, considering factors like academic standing, workload, and future aspirations. Additionally, they can assist in understanding how GPA impacts academic progress and what steps can be taken to maintain or improve it.

While other roles, such as career counselors, faculty members, and peer mentors, provide valuable support in their respective areas—like career planning or course-specific insights—they do not have the same comprehensive view of degree requirements and educational planning that an advisor has. This makes the advisor the most appropriate resource for inquiries related to GPA, goals, and degree completion.
