Welcome
to the Advising Network
a collection of academic advising resources and highlights at your fingertips.
Promoting Advising for Student Success Portal
The Advising Network offers a Blackboard-based set of learning modules
for participating academic advisors to expand their familiarity with best
practices and to provide directions to additional resources and information
that will enrich students' experiences with a USM academic advisor.
These modules were developed by a University-wide committee of faculty
and professional academic advisors from all the schools and colleges at USM.
Providing helpful and useful advice to students about their academic
and professional plans is one of USM's most important responsibilities.
Those members of the USM community involved in this critical academic
support process come from all over the University:
Faculty Academic Advisors
Professional Academic Advisors
Peer Advisors
Being knowledgeable and accurate is essential in building trust with students who depend on the advice they receive as they make decisions that affect their futures both at USM and after they graduate. Academic advisors at USM partner with students to help them make informed decisions that lead to academic, personal, and professional success.
Academic advisors can earn a certificate after completing the 11 self-paced modules on our Blackboard site. Log in at the link on the right to register for the certificate.
