About the Office
Academic advising at Azusa Pacific University provides individual academic advising conferences, monitors successful completion of degree requirements, and promotes student development through discussion of abilities and appropriate personal and occupational choices.
Students meet with an advisor each semester (March and October) while attending APU as a requirement to register or preregister. The advisor is a resource person available to explore life, vocational, and educational goals and growth, as well as aid in academic planning and course selection related to the major. Full-time faculty are available to advise students throughout the semester, as well as during registration and preregistration periods.
A faculty advisor is selected when a student declares a major. Students who have not declared a major will be advised by faculty in a department corresponding to their general interests or will meet with an undeclared major advisor in the Office of Academic Advising.
While the advisor is a guide and resource person, final responsibility for meeting requirements to complete a major and a degree program rests with the student.
Additional resources are available to assist in the many areas of planning and growth that occur during a student’s collegiate years. The Offices of Undergraduate Admissions and the Registrar process the official records concerning a student’s progress toward academic completion of a program of study. The Office of Student Life, the Learning Enrichment Center, the Writing Center, and Career Services all provide individual guidance to students through testing, skills-development programs, counseling, and information sharing.
The Office of Academic Advising is here to help! Please feel free to contact us for further details.
