Onboarding Academic Advisors

Comprehensive Milestones & Resources

Having a comprehensive onboarding plan for academic advisors is essential in helping them feel comfortable and productive in their role. It includes acclimating the advisor to the culture of the department, introducing them to the team and key stakeholders, and creating a plan for training.

Onboarding is an opportunity to teach skills, share policies and procedures, and outline behaviors that will set the new hire on a path towards job success. Hiring managers want the new advisor to feel valued and part of the team.
