The University launched the USC Undergraduate Advisement Database for academic advisors effective August 7, 2007. The Advisement Database was a web-based tool for managing the information and processes involved in undergraduate student advisement at USC. The system will be sunset in Fall 2023 and replaced by a university-wide advising solution called Advise USC.
The system was designed to increase retention and graduation rates by:
- Increasing the efficiency of the advisement process;
- Facilitating the transfer of data between schools and units;
- Enabling proactive advisement by identifying students at risk of not graduating from USC;
- Providing on-demand reporting for faster data analysis; and;
- Safeguarding against loss of records due to staff turnover.
Access to the Advisement Database can no longer be requested.
