Master Advisor Program
About the Master Advisor Certification Program
This professional development opportunity seeks to help UWL faculty advisors develop as academic advisors and to help better serve advisees. Completion of the program will indicate commitment to quality advising to students and colleagues.
The Master Advisor program runs three times each year in January, May, and August for approximately two and a half weeks. The content is based around the NACADA Academic Advising Core Competencies and consists of a series of Canvas modules that are completed at one's own pace, and a three-hour Zoom synchronous or in-person meeting at the end of the program.
Staff and faculty who complete the Master Advisor Program will receive a certificate, and have the Master Advisor Certification badge applied to their UWL profile. Additionally, all those who have completed the program will stay enrolled in a Canvas course where they will have continued access to the resources and materials covered within the program.
Master Advisors must complete two hours of continuing professional development within the following two-year period. Various training opportunities that relate to advising can be considered to count towards this requirement and will be submitted via the Master Advisor Canvas course.
Questions about the content of the Master Advisor Program can be directed to Jamie Schweiger.
