Purpose & Goals
The UAN provides resources for all USC faculty and professional staff advisors serving
Carolina undergraduate students. Effective advising supports traditional academic
progression in the classroom, studio, and lab as well as extra-curricular engagement
and personal growth necessary for life-long achievement.
We provide information on advising for courses needed in the Carolina Core (USC general
education curriculum) and in the Program Major. We also provide information on advising
for USC Connect, the beyond-the-classroom program for students interested in Community
Service, Global Study, Internships, Peer Leadership, Research and Discovery.
The UAN is the coordinating council for advisors at USC. Each college has a representative
in the UAN who serves as a liaison to relay college comments and share institutional
information to enhance campus-wide advising effectiveness.
