Faculty & staff

The Academic Advising Centre (AAC) informs its practice through engagement with NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising and the Council for Advancement of Standards (CAS).

The AAC has a dedicated academic advising consultant to support academic unit advisers (AUAs) and faculties with advising and curriculum questions. Additional resources are available for faculty and staff through the Brightspace course.

Academic Advising 101

The AAC recognizes that AUAs, instructors and frontline staff need quick access to advising information and guidance for navigating new advising situations.

Academic Advising 101 has been created to support AUAs, faculty and staff at the 番茄社区. The site is arranged into topic areas that include contact lists, general information on undergraduate advising, substitutions and waivers, teaching, academic concessions, grading, curriculum and support for students. It also includes some useful advising resources (tips and FAQ documents) and a presentation archive.

For real-time access to this information, visit our Brightspace course. If you need additional information, want to request access or would like to discuss something in particular, please contact Academic Advising Consultant Kelly Colby ( or local 7566).
