Academic Support Services
Academic Support begins when students are admitted to APSU and continues until the goal of graduation is met.
Academic Advising
Deliberate and intentional academic advising at Austin Peay State University guides students in making responsible academic and career choices, setting goals, and developing education plans to realize those goals. Effective advising fosters critical thinking and informed decision making which supports meaningful living in a global society.
Incoming Student Advisement. Academic Advising is an element of academic support that begins at the time of initial enrollment at APSU through graduation. During Governors Orientation undergraduate students meet with college-based Student Success Team to plan a schedule for their first semester.
Regular Academic Advising. Each semester students are expected to schedule an appointment with their assigned advisor(s) for the purpose of discussing academic progress and planning a schedule for the following semester. The role of advisors is to help students clarify goals, career options, courses of study, program requirements, and educational needs, and to identify University resources that support the student success.
