Position Summary, Requirements, and Qualifications

Overview
This position is located within the NIU Academic Advising Center (AAC). The AAC operates in a team setting and is committed to building collaborative, student-centered relationships that support achievement of academic success, promote personal and professional development, and foster a sense of community. Program Advisors educate the whole student through a developmental, student-focused approach and are charged with developing and implementing advising strategies and interventions to enhance the performance and persistence of students throughout their first year on campus, along with contributing to the development of student learning outcomes and assessment.
Position Summary
The re-enrollment academic advisor's primary function is to embrace a holistic approach in advising students who are resuming classes toward completion of an undergraduate degree at NIU. Re-enrolled students include those who have withdrawn from NIU (i.e. interrupted continuous degree enrollment, were dismissed or suspended for nonacademic and/or academic reasons and/or have taken a leave of absence) or have some college credit at another institution and are looking to complete a degree from NIU.

The re-enrollment academic advisor engages students using a developmental advising approach to decision making by promoting appropriate and responsible choices on academic matters such as course selection, financial planning to support educational goals, career exploration, and evaluating pathways for degree completion. This position maintains appropriate confidentiality, updates student advising records, and contributes to the development and delivery of academic advising related events and programs at NIU. Further, the re-enrollment academic advisor works to ensure that re-enrolled students receive accurate, timely, and holistic advising services, using a case management approach of integrated student success services and support. This position has the option of being remote, with limited time on-campus.
