Advising Ethics:
University of Texas-Arlington-“The
increasing number of court decisions dealing with classroom and academic
matters attests to the growing judicial sensitivity to students' rights in
academic affairs. The advisor's job
falls within this academic affairs area, and, thus, advisors must understand
the legal issues involving four major areas:
(1) the contractual relationship between student and institution, (2) guidelines
governing privacy of student records, (3) the concept of privileged
communications, (4) and academic due process and the need for grievance
procedures.”

HERE IS AN INTERESTING ONE: Can family members sit in on the Academic Advising session when the students schedule their classes? No. Due to Academic Advising's policy, family members cannot be in the room when students schedule their classes with an advisor.
