Advisor: Your academic advisor will help you choose the correct courses, review the course requirements in the program you have chosen to pursue, and help you with any academic problems you may encounter. At some institutions, faculty as part of their job duties conduct academic advisement. Other institutions may designate specific staff as academic counselors. Advisors help select classes, plan course schedules and answer questions about course credits.
