The Academic Advising Resource Center at the University of Richmond provides support to advisors and advisees in the School of Arts & Sciences, the Robins School of Business, and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies. Academic advising is an integral part of a Richmond education, with a faculty advisor assigned to each student at every point during the student’s academic career. Advisors meet with students to discuss everything from course selection to majors to university resources to career options. The advisor/advisee relationship is often said to be among the closest, most valuable connections students make during college—and some of these connections continue long past graduation.

The Academic Advising Resource Center (AARC) was established to encourage and support a developmental approach to advising. AARC staff are available to answer questions from students and advisors, provide workshops and training to advisors, assist with the logistics of assigning advisors to new students, and to wherever possible promote excellence in advising at the University of Richmond. The Web pages found here offer guidelines, links to resources, and information of value to advisors and advisees. If you don’t find what you need here, or if we can be of assistance to you in any way, please contact us.
