academic advisors
Course planning counselors
Academic advisors are university or college staff who guide students through degree requirements, course selection, and academic planning.
They help students choose majors, ensure they're on track to graduate, and connect them with resources when they struggle: My academic advisor helped me map out my remaining semesters.
Distinguished from career counselors, who focus on post-graduation employment.
