Our advisors are ready to assist you in your job search and career development. From formatting a resume to learning the basics of conducting a job search, we can help!
We advise all deciding students on their academic progress but we also welcome those of you who have a major and are thinking of making an academic change to your degree program.
Schedule an appointment with an advisor through your Handshake account for any career development or academic advising needs. Simply use your UNK email credentials to login.
Equitable access to good, accurate advising has been proven to increase student retention and completion. To this end, all academic advisors want to provide accurate and timely information to the students they assist. The Advisor's Handbook is designed to provide information to new advisors and to serve as a resource for more experienced advisors.
We have also created an Advisor Training module in Canvas which contains additional resources related to advising, and prior to being assigned as an academic advisor for students, faculty should contact the Academic Advising and Career Development Office to be added to this organization so they can access these resources. Please call 308-865-8068 or email careerserv@unk.edu.
Faculty are encouraged to submit Early Academic Alerts when students are experiencing academic difficulty. These students are then notified by email and offered assistance that will help them complete their classes successfully. The student's advisor is notified as well. This process is an effective supplement to faculty members' personal outreach to students, not intended to replace your outreach.
Faculty submit Early Academic Alerts on MyBlue by following these steps (detailed instructions with screen shots)
Academic Advising and Career Development is dedicated to preparing UNK students for life after college and collaborating with faculty and staff plays a vital part in achieving this goal. Please take some time to consider how our services could benefit your students. Thank you for considering our services.
