academic counseling
Student planning help
Academic counseling is guidance provided to students about educational matters—course selection, degree requirements, study strategies, and academic goals.
Distinguished from personal or mental health counseling, it focuses on helping students navigate their educational path: I met with academic counseling to plan my schedule for next semester.
Schools typically offer academic counseling through advisors assigned by department or grade level.
