Missouri Western State University recognizes academic advising to be a critical component of the educational experience. Successful advising includes providing the necessary tools and information regarding educational and career plans compatible with student goals; meeting institutional and degree requirements; and preparing for a life of change, challenge and individual fulfillment as active citizens. Advising is primarily the responsibility of the university faculty and assigned professional staff advisors, however, it also requires a responsible and involved student to be effective and efficient.
