Who is an Advisor?
Advisor is a faculty mentor who supports and guides a student throughout the entire period of study.
An advisor helps students design their individual educational path, supports them in adapting to the university environment, and contributes to the development of academic, professional, and personal competencies.
An advisor is the first person a student can turn to with questions about studies, planning, or participation in university life.

• supporting student involvement in research and community activities;
• preventing academic failure;
• organizing events on academic integrity;

Dean’s offices and vice-deans for student affairs — coordination and support of advisors;
• Registrar’s Office — academic guidance and consulting;
• Department of Social Development (DSD) — assistance in resolving students’ social and living issues and organizing their participation in various activities.
Each advisor submits an annual report on their work.
Effectiveness is evaluated based on:
• students’ academic performance;
• their level of engagement and discipline;
• quality of documentation and feedback from students.
The results of this analysis are used to improve the mentoring system and enhance the educational environment.
