Which office is typically responsible for assisting students with degree planning and course selection?

• A. Registrar's Office
• B. Academic Advising Office
• C. Financial Aid Office
• D. Student Life Office

Answer: (B)

Academic advising focuses on helping students plan their degree path and choose courses that fit that plan. Advisors review degree requirements, map out a sequence of courses (including prerequisites and prerequisites for future terms), and help students create a realistic timeline to graduate on time. They also interpret degree audits, discuss majors or minors, and accommodate transfers or changes in plans. That planning and guidance around what to take and when to take it is exactly what makes this office the right resource for degree planning and course selection. The Registrar’s Office mainly handles records, registration logistics, and transcripts; the Financial Aid Office deals with funding and aid; the Student Life Office supports activities, services, and student experiences.
