Florida International University Parent Guide
To the Hearts of Parents... From the Hearts of Academic Advisors!
Written by Kathryne Collins, Senior Academic Advisor, Undergraduate Education
The Academic Advising Center is here to provide your sons and daughters with an important service that will assist them in not only earning a degree, but also in achieving their personal and professional goals! Our academic advisors are available to meet regularly with your students to discuss registration, academic standards, choosing a major, scheduling courses and formulating an academic plan for success.
We know the transition from high school to college is sometimes very difficult. As academic advisors, we provide the much-needed personal relationship that is essential to your student's college career. We not only guide your student through the curricular maze, but also assist them in finding the right resources that will fit their individual needs. Moreover, we ensure that students receive assistance with many important tasks that are essential to their academic success and satisfaction.
We are asking for your help in encouraging your student to develop a good relationship with an academic advisor and seek advice regularly throughout his/her academic journey here at FIU.
TOGETHER WE CAN HELP STUDENTS NAVIGATE THEIR ACADEMIC JOURNEY.
WE ARE HERE FOR YOU......BECAUSE WE CARE!
