“…McClellan (2007) reported the positive influence of advisors on student growth development. Graduate students, including current advisors, in the course Interpersonal Relations report experiencing difficulty transitioning with advisees from surface topics, such as grade difficulties and scheduling matters, to more important issues including the reasons behind the grade difficulties and the life conflicts making the scheduling problematic.…”

The relationship between interpersonal skills is positively correlated with effective academic advising. Professional academic advisors feel significant pressure to meet a wide array of student needs, increase retention rates, help students in their efforts of academic achievement and career exploration, and support institutions to excel in scholarship. These demands make the skills needed for effective academic advising more professionally demanding than ever before. An advisor's skill level in interpersonal relations is critical to advising success. In this article, I share the foundation for interpersonal relations proficiency, communicate the challenges in interpersonal skill areas, and provide strategies with examples designed for advisors to enhance their proficiency in their relationships with advisees.

“…Finally, advising, like leadership, is a social influence process designed to accomplish outcomes (Creamer & Creamer, 1994;Zenger & Folkman, 2002).

One of the major foci of universities in relation to the educational missions is to promote the growth and development of students as leaders. This article discusses the role of academic advising as a strategic partner with classroom and extracurricular leadership development programs. To that end, this article reviews the roles of academic advising in higher education and discusses the viability of expanding these roles to include the role of advisor as leadership educator. In so doing, I provide a review of the literature related to student leadership development, discuss the similarity in advising outcomes and leadership development outcomes, and examine how the roles of academic advisors in higher education relate to leadership development as well as how advisors can become intentional leadership educators.

“…This has led to other researchers to consider the nature and quality of the advising process (Winston and Sandor, 1984). Therefore, as the academic advising improves the student success in relation to fostering campus connection, a lack of resources and the emphasis of institutional goals on advising are often held in the discretion of the advisor (McClellan, 2007). The conventional model is that the instructor announces his office hours and provides the opportunity for students to answer questions and provide feedback.…”

Academic advising is a time-consuming effort in educational institutions. Advising and consulting students are critical, which can cause latency and additional overhead for both the instructor and student. This paper proposes an effective and secured online framework to enrich the advising experience between the instructor and student and enhance time management. It provides two main services: reserved time slots for each student and common discussion between students and instructors. Reserving a time slot means that the student can communicate with the advisor anywhere. It can start an embedded web-based virtual machine to interact with the instructor in real time. The second service is to share a general post with all students and instructors to come up with a generic solution. Security plays a dominant role in the framework. It uses a strong authentication mechanism and encrypts the entire traffic to keep the data confidential.
