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.
