Values

Revelle College Academic Advising values the college system at UC San Diego and is part of the strong community within Revelle College. As a cohesive team of professional academic advisors, we uphold the core values derived from of our international professional association - the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA).

Caring - Revelle academic advisors value building relationships with students, colleagues and the campus community. We utilize empathetic listening, compassion, and care to challenge, support, and teach. 

Commitment - Revelle academic advisors value and strive for high quality interactions with students, colleagues, and the UC San Diego community. We are committed to enhancing scholarly achievement through advocacy for student-centered policies, personal development, and life-long learning of our own team and the campus community.

Empowerment- Revelle academic advisors motivate, encourage, and support Revelle undergraduate students to recognize their potential, meet their challenges, and respect their individuality. We reach these goals by providing students with resources, information, and support, enabling students to reflect on and make well-informed choices about their academic journey. 

Inclusivity - Academic advisors respect, engage, and value a supportive and accessible Revelle culture for diverse populations. Advisors will consider and advocate for the needs and perspectives of diverse students, colleagues, and the UC San Diego community through openness, acceptance, and active support for equity.

Integrity -  Revelle academic advisors act intentionally in accordance with ethical and professional behavior. Academic advisors value honesty, transparency, and accountability to the student, institution, and the advising profession. We hope to create a space where students can be upfront about their challenges and triumphs, and never be afraid to ask questions. 

Professionalism - Revelle Advising commits to providing reliable, timely, accurate information while maintaining confidentiality under the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). We are committed to conscientious, courteous communication and interactions.

Respect - Revelle academic advisors honor the individual identities and experiences of all students. Advisors strive to build long lasting, meaningful, positive relationships by understanding and appreciating students’ views and cultures, maintaining a student-centered approach and mindset, and treating all students with equity and fairness.
