Advisors can offer more than a signature on a class pre-registration schedule. They are knowledgeable about institutional requirements and are aware of the educational support services available to you. An advisor can help you in your intellectual development and in your academic planning. 

There are times when you need to see your advisor and other instances when you are encouraged to seek counsel from your advisor.
