If it is not conducted with the utmost efficiency and effectiveness, the most important function in the college--instruction--will fail to achieve its purpose of ensuring that students succeed in navigating the curriculum to completion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe purpose of academic advising is to help students select a program of study to meet their life and vocational goals. As such, academic advising is a central and important activity in the process of education.
