Office of Advising and Learning Support
Mission
The Office of Advising and Learning Support equips students to confidently navigate their educational journey through personalized academic advising and comprehensive learning support. We partner with students to identify their educational goals and develop a clear path to graduation. We consult with faculty advisors as they work to support advisees and academically struggling students. Together, we strive to ensure that every student feels supported, valued, and informed, takes responsibility for their academic progress, and realizes their educational goals. By providing resources, expert guidance, and collaborative learning opportunities, we know students will thrive.
We will continue to work to refer and collaborate with campus partners to ensure students receive timely support and accurate information as they navigate their academic journey at Xavier. Questions about this new office can be directed to Dr. Melissa Burwell, Dean of Advising, burwellm1@xavier.edu.
The Office of Advising and Learning Support comprises four departments dedicated to guiding students through their academic journey. We provide specialized support for unique student populations, including graduate students and student-athletes, while also serving as a bridge between students and academic departments. Our team assists with navigating academic challenges, registration, and other technical processes—offering both guidance and encouragement to students, faculty, and staff along the way.
