At Dickinson College the primary advising relationship is between faculty members and their students. Dickinson faculty members provide the academic advising for matriculated students and recognize advising as part of their teaching responsibilities (Academic Handbook). By providing the structure and supporting systems, the Advising Office serves as a centralized resource; Class Deans support faculty advisors, their advisees and instructors. Mission The Academic Advising program supports the educational mission of Dickinson College. "Advising for excellence" means that 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, faculty delivered and professionally administered, is developmental. We recognize: • 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 them to other resources as appropriate, • that individual students are ultimately responsible for using available resources in the pursuit of their educational goals, • that students need different levels of support over the course of their four years in college.
