The findings of this study will be presented to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1984, in the accreditation process. Academic advising at Rollins is one issue being studied, and will continue to be examined until the self-study is complete. When the study began, a survey was given to all incoming freshmen which asked them what role they thought their advisor should assume. The questionnaire was designed to help define the responsibilities of faculty advisors and also to deter­ mine the effectiveness of the academic advising system. Of the 213 respondents, 99% said it is important for their advisor to provide information about general education requirements. Ninety-seven percent found it important for their ad­ visor to provide information about requirements in their major. Ninety-five percent felt their advisor should review information about professional or grad­ uate school preparation requirements. Seventy-eight percent believe advisors should provide information about career opportunities. The respondents also noted that they did not feel an advisor should be a psychiatrist, a tutor, or a social counselor. The survey also dealt students' expectations about File Photo the role their advisors should play in course selection. Orlando Hall, site of recent vandalism.
