The Academic Advisors in the Undergraduate Office are responsible for developing, delivering, and assessing academic advising services, programs, and strategic projects in order to support student wellbeing, learning, development and the retention of approximately 4,000 students in the UBC Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) and Combined Major in Business and Computer Science (BUCS) programs.
The Academic Advisors are responsible for the development and implementation of initiatives related to strategic projects that include: student recruitment and retention; services and programming to support the academic success and personal development of special population groups such as Aboriginal students, international students, refugees, transfer students, and Varsity athletes; cross-campus initiatives and committees.

Consequence of Error/Judgement
Advising services directly impact the quality of the undergraduate student experience. Inaccurate information or lack of sensitivity affects the reputation and credibility of the BCom program, the school and UBC, and may also negatively affect student experience and faculty relationships. Errors in judgement, poor advising, and/or inconsistency in decision-making could have negative financial, academic and personal consequences for students, including difficulty in attaining their educational goals or delaying graduation. Failing to identify a student in crisis or in need of support can result in a delay of necessary support services and jeopardize a student’s wellbeing. Failures in one or all of the above may result in students leaving the University or having a negative experience while at UBC.
