Faculty Advisor Resources
Faculty advisors play an essential role in helping students understand degree requirements, make informed academic decisions, connect with campus resources, and remain on track toward graduation.
Students can use CSU Pueblo advising resources to identify their advisor, prepare for appointments, and receive support with academic planning.
Faculty Advising Essentials
Use these resources to prepare for advising conversations, communicate clear expectations, provide students with convenient scheduling options, and stay familiar with the information students receive during orientation.
New Student Preparation
Faculty advisors are encouraged to review ThunderWolf 101 so they are familiar with the information presented to new students and can provide consistent support throughout the advising process.
Begin with the faculty and staff version of ThunderWolf 101, then use the staff resource guide for additional context and quick reference.
Appointments and Availability
Use this guide to establish office hours, configure appointment availability, and create a direct scheduling link that students and advising offices can use.
Add your direct Starfish scheduling link to your email signature and share it with advising offices to make appointment scheduling easier for students.
Communication and Expectations
Use the CSU Pueblo Academic Advising Syllabus as a foundation for creating and maintaining an advising syllabus for your students.
An advising syllabus can clarify communication practices, advisor and student responsibilities, appointment expectations, and available support.
Standards and Reference
Review the CSU Pueblo Academic Advising Handbook for guidance on advising expectations, responsibilities, procedures, campus services, and student support resources.
Keep the handbook available as a reference when responding to student questions or connecting students with another campus office.
