What We Do

TEXAAN views sound academic advising as a vital aspect in the education of
students.

Academic advising is an interactive process in which advisors assist students in
setting and achieving academic, social and personal goals consistent with the
students' interests, values, abilities and career expectations.

Advisors create a supportive environment in which they may challenge students to
take responsibility for making appropriate academic and career decisions.

Through the relationship established between the advisor and the student and
the discussions they have about available resources, students will have the
opportunity to learn about education and career options, academic policies and
procedures, and degree requirements.
