Abstract
This program-enhancement proposal discusses the existing practice of mandatory academic advising at North Seattle Community College, including its strengths and weaknesses. Based on a theoretical framework informed by Astin’s (1999) theory of student involvement, Tinto’s (1993) theory of integration, and other pertinent research, strategies for enhancing the program to better serve all students at the institution, as well as advising staff, are suggested. Practical implications of these strategies are included, as they impact students, staff, the department, and the institution as a whole. The proposal concludes with expected outcomes to be achieved by the suggested strategies.
