Academic Success Advising

At Gardner-Webb University, academic advising is a shared responsibility of the student, Academic Success Advisor, and Faculty.

Students entering Gardner-Webb Online are assigned a personal Academic Success Advisor (with the exception of Nursing) who assists them with academic advising and registration from their first semester through graduation. Nursing students are assigned to a Faculty Advisor who mentors students in their major career field and assists students in the registration process. The Faculty Advisor and Academic Success Advisor work closely with students to successfully clarify and attain their personal, professional, and academic goals. Academic Success Advisors also provide direct assistance and serve as a bridge or ombudsperson between students and Faculty Advisors (Nursing), Registrar Services, Student Accounts Office, Financial Planning, Academic Support Services, and other University resources in order to help students enroll successfully and persist to graduation.
