Academic Advisor
Requisition Number: ACADE01802
Location:
The Academic Advising Department serves to guide, encourage, and inform students of recommended academic options to progress through their academic programs at American Public University System (APUS). Academic advisors interact with students through a variety of remote means - email, phone, chat, and others. Required to work non-traditional hours: Monday - Friday, 12:30 - 9:00 p.m. ET or Saturday - Wednesday, 9:30-6:00 depending on the need of the department.
Professional academic advisors, who form the majority of the APUS academic advising department, are critical-thinking professionals who use communication and analytical skills to guide, influence and encourage students through their academic journeys at APUS. Advisors are quick-thinking multitaskers who must excel in a variety of roles on a daily basis -cheerleader, diplomat, clerical specialist, subject matter expert, and above all, effective communicator. The incumbent requires a daily willingness to review students' individual situations to determine optimal solutions and to adjudicate student's requests to waive policy. This requires the advisor to have the ability to counsel students against a particular course of action, even if doing so will not always be well received by the student.
Advisors participate within the University and across industry in multiple ways (e.g., committees, technical task forces, authors and presenters for the national academic advising association [NACADA]). APUS encourages professional development and continuing education for all advising staff.
