AACC organizes courses and requirements for three separate academic advising certificates:
- The Certificate in Academic Advising (CAA) was developed in 2007 by Elizabeth Sproston and Amber Fetner, two professional advisors in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. It covers basic advising information relevant both to prospective and current advisors across campus.
- The Advanced Certificate in Academic Advising (ACAA) is designed for academic advisors who have completed the Certificate in Academic Advising and/or have been working as an academic advisor for two or more years. This program provides opportunities to explore and reflect on the theories, practices, and perspectives that inform one’s advising philosophy and work.
- The Inclusive Excellence in Academic Advising Certificate (IEAA) is designed to provide opportunities to expand advising perspectives, knowledge, and skills around inclusive excellence in academic advising to better facilitate student success.
- The Master Instructor in Academic Advising Certificate (MIAA), developed by Litashia Carter, co-chair of the Advising Certificate subcommittee, recognizes instructors who deliver outstanding courses for advisors across the Academic Advising Certificate (CCA), Advanced Certificate in Academic Advising (ACAA), and the Inclusive Excellence in Advising Certificate. This program is for advisors who have completed the Advanced Advising Certificate or have at least five years of experience in academic advising.
Participants may register for CAA, ACAA, and IEAA courses via the PEP website.
