academic advising
Student course guidance
Academic advising is guidance provided to students about their educational path—course selection, degree requirements, and academic planning.
An academic advisor helps students navigate curriculum choices, graduation timelines, and sometimes career direction: I scheduled an academic advising appointment to plan next semester's classes.
The term applies to both the service and the process.
