Advising Philosophy

The UNBC Student Advisors are guided by the NACADA The Global Community for Academic Advising philosophy of Appreciative Advising. We believe it is the intentional collaborative practice of asking positive, open-ended questions that helps students optimize their educational experiences and achieve their dreams, goals, and potentials. It is perhaps the best example of a fully student-centered approach to student development.

Mission Statement

UNBC Student Advisors act as catalysts for success.  We create conditions of empowerment for students to cultivate a connection with the university community that fosters an ability to define and achieve their personal, career, and academic goals.
