Academic Advising

At Nevada State University’s Academic Advising Center, we are dedicated to embodying the principles set forth by both the institution's mission and the core values of successful advising: caring, commitment, empowerment, inclusivity, integrity, professionalism and respect.1 Our purpose is to provide dynamic and individualized support throughout each student's academic journey, fostering a transformative experience that goes beyond traditional advising.

We strive to facilitate the intellectual, personal, and social development of each student by creating an inclusive and empowering advising environment, where the student is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and support necessary for personal and academic success. We diligently serve our diverse student population by cultivating an atmosphere of respect, collaboration, and sense of belonging. Our committed team of advisors are driven by the belief that every student has unique strengths and aspirations. We support their development and success through strategic academic planning, proactive mentorship, and reflective conversations to help students reach their goals.

All students with the exception of those formally admitted to the School of Nursing and School of Education will have a primary Advisor located in the AAC. Students formally admitted into the School of Nursing and School of Education are advised by faculty members or a designated staff member within that school.

Advisors also provide information on Nevada State minor programs, experiential learning opportunities, and campus resources. Advisors help students to better understand Nevada State's academic policies, degree requirements, and their progress towards graduation. The AAC works in close collaboration with Faculty and academic departments to provide a quality advising experience for every student.

Additionally, Advisors provide support for students in academic difficulty such as academic warning, probation, and suspension. Please reference Nevada State's academic standing policies in the catalog for further information. In an effort to proactively work with students who are struggling academically, Student Success Specialists can be notified by faculty members using the Nevada State Early Alert system if the faculty member believes it is best for the students to seek assistance from other student support services.

Advising appointments are available Monday-Friday. Students can schedule an advising appointment online through the AAC website, or by contacting the AAC via phone or in-person. For more information, the AAC can be reached at 702-992-2160 or through email at aac@nevadastate.edu.
