Abilene Christian University is committed to quality advising that promotes student learning and development. Advising should help students discover their God-given talents so that their giftedness is fully realized and utilized.

Your advisor is here to support you throughout your entire ACU journey. Life will happen, and your advisor will walk along side you during tough times and celebrate with you in good times. Your advisor is your advocate and they want you to be a successful college student and alumni.
