faculty advisor
Student's professor contact
A faculty advisor is a professor or instructor assigned to guide students through academic decisions—course selection, degree requirements, career planning.
The role varies by institution: some advisors meet regularly with advisees, others exist mainly as signatures on registration forms.
Graduate students typically have a faculty advisor who supervises their thesis or dissertation research.
