Academic Advisor Survey

The University of Georgia is committed to providing quality academic advising. To help us meet that objective, we are asking for your perceptions about the experiences you have had with academic advising. Please complete this online survey, focusing on the advisor with whom you have had the most interaction over the past twelve months.

Below are statements about advising tasks and advisor attributes that students and advisors have identified as important to effective academic advising. For each statement, we ask that you indicate the degree to which the statement characterizes the experience you have had with your advisor. In completing the form, please recognize that individual advisors are not necessarily expected to perform all of the listed tasks; identify the tasks or attributes that you do not expect your advisor to perform as 'NA'—Not Applicable.

In addition, space is provided for written comments. We encourage you to use this space to help us document good advising experiences and to identify specific ways that advising might be improved.

Note, all information you submit is confidential.
No names will be received through this online form.

Using the following scale, please check the appropriate box:

Strongly Agree = SA
Agree = A
Neutral = N
Disagree = D
Strongly Disagree = SD
Not Applicable = NA
