Academic Advisors
Doane University believes in and is dedicated to assisting its students in achieving their goal of an excellent higher education. Leading through our values of Community, Integrity, Innovation and Transformation we strive to provide a team of advisors who are dedicated to the student’s academic, personal, and professional success. Every Doane student is assigned an advisor based on their primary major. Your team of advisors will include a general advisor and a faculty advisor. This team will work closely with the student to provide the best overall support and discipline-specific expertise.
Team approach
Each student will be assigned at minimum two (2) advisors.
A general advisor (full-time) who works with the student and the faculty member to determine an academic plan to graduation, is up-to-date- on University policy and procedure regarding course registration and offerings.
A faculty advisor who works with the student to determine appropriate course plans for the primary major and career interests. The First Year Liberal Arts (LAR) seminar instructor will serve as the initial faculty advisor until a faculty member in the discipline-specific area is identified.
The additional resources available to students are (but not limited to) the Academic Success Center, Career Services and Leadership Offices, the Writing Center and Registrar’s Office. Students are encouraged to contact the Academic Affairs Office with questions and concerns about advising and other issues related to their success at Doane.
