• To improve the overall student experience with advising in the Faculty of LA&PS through a collaborative, student-centred approach that includes students, advisors, faculty and administration.
• To redesign the LA&PS advising structure to create a caseload model based on clusters of programs based on student migration patterns,
• To implement primary and secondary program assignments for each advisor to ensure continuity of care throughout the student’s academic lifecycle
• To adopt technology tools and a new service delivery model to facilitate the advising assessment pillars of timeliness, care, accuracy, and accessibility.
