Academic advising at ASU Mid-South focuses on student success.
Your academic advisor will work with you to create a solid foundation that moves you steadily toward your goals.
Be sure to interact frequently with your advisor. He or she will have the information you need to establish priorities, and overcome potential roadblocks. You can rely on your advisor’s expertise and wisdom, and learn to take increasing responsibility for your future.
