Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand undergraduate students' experiences with academic advising and how it may have impacted their academic success. A survey was distributed to undergraduate students enrolled at Rowan University in the Spring 2022 semester. This survey consisted of questions regarding students' experiences with academic advising and their academic advisors, how it impacted them, and their perceptions of their academic success as it relates to their advising experiences. The findings of this study suggest that most students who receive academic advising from Rowan University have effective and positive experiences, find themselves to be academically successful by their own definition, and believe that academic advising experiences align with academic success.
