Our Department
Advising Systems plays a vital role in advancing student success at MSU Denver.
As part of Undergraduate Studies, a unit within Academic Affairs, our department manages many aspects of the undergraduate academic advising program across the University’s shared advising model between professional staff and faculty.
We work in partnership with colleges, schools, and academic programs to support efforts that foster consistent, student-centered advising aligned with institutional goals. This approach strengthens communication and coordination throughout advising teams in colleges and schools.
In addition to leading key initiatives, providing academic advisor training and professional development, and supporting strategic planning, our Student Intervention Services staff works with students facing academic challenges.

- Lead efforts to improve consistency and clarity in undergraduate advising practices and communication
- Provide academic advisor training and professional development opportunities
- Provide guidance to students on academic standing
- Leverage technology-driven solutions to enhance student support and streamline workflows

Our Impact
By building strong partnerships and aligning academic advising with institutional goals, we help create a connected, student-centered undergraduate advising experience that drives student success.
