CSU's Student Advising Tasks to be Centralized in the Near Future

CSU President Stuart Rayfield recently announced that undergraduate academic advising will be transitioning from CSU faculty to a group of academic success coaches who will be hired and trained per NISS recommendations. Under this plan, there will likely be about 150 students assigned to each coach. In addition, seven career coaches will be hired and trained to provide career guidance to students. This transition will begin in August, as faculty will continue to advise their current roster of advisees until graduation. This shift in advising is expected to reduce faculty workload. Faculty may volunteer to have conversations with these coaches to ensure that these coaches provide accurate information to the students.
