INTRUSIVE ADVISING “Many student support programs are designed based upon the assumption that students will self-identify academic and developmental needs and seek assistance. Some minority students and entering first-year college students have not established behavioral patterns that would motivate them to seek the assistance of these services. The Intrusive Advising model is valuable because it assumes that some students will not take the initiative in resolving their academic concerns, therefore, assigned counselors operate intrusively.”

WHY INTRUSIVE ADVISING WORKS
Advising ModelsStudents who know that an academic advisor will contact them are more motivated to keep up with their work.
Financial worries, which account for a large percentage of student attrition are of less concern to students who are advised and helped to fill out their applications.
Intrusive advising provides the necessary nexus to make connections to the university retention services
Referrals to needed student services, along with the ongoing attention which informs students that someone at the University cares about them, are the major contributions of intrusive advising.

Advising ModelsIntrusive advising does not mean “hand holding” or parenting. Rather, it does mean active concern and a willingness to assist students to explore programs and services to improve their skills and motivate them to persist toward their goals.

Advising ModelsThe intrusive model of advising is action-oriented in involving and motivating students to seek help when needed. Utilizing the good qualities of prescriptive advising (expertise, awareness of student needs, structured programs) and of developmental advising (relationship to a student's total needs), intrusive advising is a direct response to an identified academic crisis with a specific program of action….

A Message from VINCENT TINTO:
Conclusion
