Organizational Models and Institutional Advising Practices
This is the first in a series of NACADA Journal articles featuring an analysis of practices related to seven organizational models for academic advising. It is based on data collected as part of the fifth ACT national survey on advising practices. The topics covered include a brief description of the organizational models, the prevalence of the paradigms in institutions of varying size and type, as well as existing institutional practices regarding policy statements, program evaluations, and coordination of the advising system.
