The mission of the East Carolina University Academic Advising Collaborative is to guide, serve and support students by partnering with academic departments and support services, to promote diverse educational experiences, and to foster professional success and responsible citizenship. The Academic Advising Collaborative is comprised of professional and faculty advisors.
Role of an Academic Advisor
Your student may expect their Academic Advisor to:
- Discuss major requirements and assist in the selection of appropriate coursework
- Provide accurate and timely information
- Discuss academic goals and ways to meet them
- Make referrals when necessary (academic, career, personal)
- Be knowledgeable of campus policies and procedures (or be able to find the necessary information)
- Discuss the academic advising processing including the roles of the advisor and advisee
- Be able to listen, understand, and respond appropriately to advisees concerns
- Respect advisees as individuals, understanding differences in backgrounds and educational/life goals
A student must meet with their academic advisor before Course Registration each semester to have their schedules reviewed and approved. Advising Centers are split up by Colleges within the University.

We are not able to meet with our academic advisor during finals apparently, despite significant issues registering for classes as incoming freshman.
My son registered for classes in May 2023. Some of the classes said they had openings but he had to be waitlisted. Now it is June and his schedule only shows one class, why is that?
I keep reading that Freshman should take COAD 1000, but that was not discussed or recommended at Freshman orientation. Does my son indeed need to take this course his first semester?
Should I be able to see my daughters schedule in this parent portal if she's authorized me to view items and call on her behalf?
My daughter is staying off campus but the requirements state that she have to take COAD 1000 class. If she already taken that class when she was in Early College High School do she have to take the class again?
