The Office of Academic Advising supports the educational mission of Dickinson College. By "advising for excellence" we strive to engage students in a community of inquiry, assist them in making thoughtful choices for their academic program and prepare them for a future beyond the limestone walls.

Our student-centered program, which is faculty delivered and professionally administered, is developmental, recognizing that student needs and level of support change during their four years in college.

It recognizes:

• the importance, dignity, potential and unique nature of each student
• that each student is ultimately responsible for accessing available resources in the pursuit of their educational goals
• that advising is an extension of teaching and that faculty should be primary in this program, deliberately challenging students, assessing progress toward their goals and referring to other resources as appropriate
• the importance of timely, proactive and appropriate training, information and support for faculty and students
• the importance of self-evaluation and on-going assessment to maintain a quality advising program
