One-to-One Advising Advantage
Traditional in-school counseling workloads have reached an
unmanageable levels, due to the public school budget crisis and
private school staff reductions, resulting in the need for
students to reach out for additional support from
independent educational consultants.
These students have discovered that private advisers can
better serve their advising needs and provide them with the
one-to-one advising advantage that makes it easier to succeed.
7 Reasons Academic International Advisers are the Best
1. Available. Academic International consultants are not tied to a school, a school district, or a school calendar. They work with students in the immediate neighborhood or across the world thanks to readily available technology. And, our consultants do much of their most important work at times when traditional university advisers are unavailable to students including weekend and evening hours.
2. Responsive. Academic International recognizes the need for high quality consultation for students and their parents.

Our advisers focus on the student's academic success and personal achievement, in addition to real-life degree applicability and career path exploration. You can benefit from our advisers first hand experience, and they can help you find the path that is right for you.
4. Credentialed. Academic International consultants are reputable board certified expert advisers that have years of specialized experience, education and training, and share a firm commitment to improving the educational experience.
5. Ethical. Academic International consultants subscribe to the International Honor Society's “Code of Ethics” that govern their actions in their relationships with students and families, schools and colleges, and with colleagues.

Why Students Need Advising to Succeed
Most of the problems that result in students discontinuing
their academic programs are caused either directly or
indirectly by the dissonance between student expectations
and the realities of the educational experience.
Academic International advisers provide assistance
preventing, mediating, and resolving the disappointment
caused by these very common misperceptions of the
educational experience.
Our advisers can show students how to turn these
perceived negative attributes into positive learning
experiences that will enable students to discover
exciting and fulfilling academic & life goals.
Most Common Reasons
Students Discontinue their Academic Program
Get A Helping Hand From AcademicInternational.net
• Dissonance - Student expectations about an academic program are disappointed by reality & subject matter does not motivate student to learn.
• Transition/Adjustment Difficulty - Student is discouraged by obstacles & complications that arise while attempting to complete an academic program.
• Academic Underpreparedness - Student does not have the appropriate background education and becomes overwhelmed by the program's requirements.
• Lack of Certainty - Student feels unsure about their choice of major or occupation. Student decides the academic program is not the right choice for their life goals.
• External Factors - Student experiences unexpected financial hardships, health issues or personal obligations.
Categories of Students Most in Need of Advising
• Undecided Students
• Entering First Year Students
• Transfer Students
• International Students
• Students on Academic Probation
• Students Changing Majors
• Non-traditional Students
Entering First Year Students
Academic advising goes beyond the clerical functions of scheduling classes and preparing degree plans that are typically offered by universities. Academic International academic advising assists students with developing consistent educational goals, clarifying personal and career goals, and evaluating their progress. Our advising is a decision-making process; in which, the sharing of information between student and adviser promotes responsible and appropriate choices and facilitates a successful academic experience.
Undeclared Students
Most students enter college without having made final decisions about majors and careers; and, even those who declare a major right away, are likely to change that major during their college experience. Academic International advisers provide students with knowledgeable insight about alternative majors and career paths, and help them start exploring options and pursuing goals. Academic International advising also increases student satisfaction through academic and career planning, as well as goal setting, which improves outcomes for our students. These activities help students learn how to make good decisions and increases their likelihood of staying in college.
Transfer Students
Most transfer students already have specific academic and career goals, but they need to understand the practical differences between their previous school (often a two-year school where more personal attention may have been available) and the institution into which they are transferring. Traditional Universities lack the resources to individually address specific transfer student issues, and most university advisers lack the training and knowledge required to help transfer students with all the complications caused when a student transfers from one institution to another. Academic International advisers are knowledgeable about all types of educational institutions, and our advising will help students maximize their transfer credits by finding creative ways to minimize time and credit losses because of transferring to a new school. Our expert advisers help to ensure that you get what you want and need from your educational experience.
International Students
The challenges of advising international students are unique and we are here to help! Traditional university advisers are ill-equipped to advise these students effectively. They are unfamiliar with issues particular to international students, and traditional university advisers are unable to answer questions students have regarding cultural differences, feelings of isolation, language and communication barriers. Academic International advisers specialize in providing the support that international students need to be successful.
Students on Academic Probation
In every college and university, some students will fail to meet the academic standards of the institution and be placed on academic warning, probation or suspension. This may happen for any number of reasons: academic under preparedness, poor study skills and habits, lack of motivation and effort, personal and social difficulties, or poor and inappropriate choice of courses or major. The research shows that, once a student is put on notice of academic warning or probation, he or she is unlikely to voluntarily meet with a traditional university adviser; even though, contact with a “significant person” is a deciding factor in whether or not these students stay in school. In theses situations, Academic International advisers personally reach out to students and help them identify the issues and situations contributing to their academic difficulties.  We help them set short and long term goals and guides them through the development of a plan to accomplish their goals.
Students Switching Majors
Students changing majors are a significant portion of the student population today. It is estimated that up to 75% of students will change their major, at least, once during their college career. Students change their majors for a number of reasons including lack of information, outside influences, developmental issues, and academic difficulties. Sometimes the change is involuntary, when a student is not admitted to the program or major that he or she planned to complete. This is a a frequent occurrence with highly competitive programs and selective majors.  
Changing majors does not have to be the loss of a dream; instead, Academic International advisers help students realize all the new opportunities available to them. Our Advisers working with this population of students feel comfortable with the student expressing their true feelings. We are able to help the student progress from disappointment and depression to acceptance and optimism, by being knowledgeable about alternative majors and career paths, and by being able to help the student start pursuing other options.
Non-traditional Students
Non-traditional aged, or adult students, are generally defined as those who are twenty-five or older and/or have had some time elapse between high school and college enrollment. The number of non-traditional students in higher education has increased dramatically in the last twenty-five years; they are currently estimated to make up over 42% of the total student population.
Non-traditional students present some unique challenges to traditional university advisers. Most of these students work full or part-time jobs, and it may be difficult for them to access and utilize student services, including advising during regularly scheduled hours. Academic International advisers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and are there when you need them.
Non-traditional students are less involved with college life and usually are managing multiple roles. Their motivation for returning to higher education may have been a life-changing event, such as a divorce or job termination; and, they may have a history of negative experiences in education. Academic International advisers understand the adult student’s unique situation and are trained and ready to support the student with personal issues in addition to their academic goals.
Maximizing Human Potential with Advising
We believe in the innate potential of individuals, their ability to realize that potential
and our ability to facilitate that potential realization with vital advising support.

To help you achieve this goal, Academic International provides students access to board certified expert advisers experienced in helpful resources, information and support for students. We know that you already have enough to worry about with your education, which is why we continue to offer our expertise and resources to assist you throughout your educational experience. Contact Academic International.net and enjoy the wealth of information and support that you will receive.

Student Visa & Immigration Information

Depending on your purpose inside the USA you will be issued a certain type of student visa. To obtain a visa for your time inside the USA you must meet certain requirements as indicated by the Federal Government. Student visa requirements vary depending on the type of visa. Find out what visa you will need to apply for, how to apply, and the requirements you will need to meet. If you have questions about the difference between F1 & J1 visas or what your rights are regarding employment while in the US on a student visa; please contact an AcademicInternational.net adviser for help.

International Student Employment

Finding a job can be difficult and as an international student, it can get confusing. Working in your host country, will be different than working in your home country. You must first discover if you are able to legally work within your host country, then establish how to begin the job searching process, and it will vary by country. Looking for work overseas isn’t easy, that’s why you need a comprehensive resource like Academic International to help you search for job openings, refine your resume, and understand the visa process.

Student Tax Return

Did you know that all international students in the US must file a US tax return? Luckily, you only need to file your taxes once a year; because, it can be a long and confusing process, if you have to do it alone. We can tell you what documentation you will need and how to file. Utilize our expert advisers to learn more about taxes and how you can file without mistakes, so you won’t be charged fines and penalties.

International Student Financial Aid

For many students, one of the most difficult parts of becoming an international student is finding enough financial aid to make the journey. There are multiple options available for students that need additional funds; you just need to know where to look. Contact us for information on student loans, scholarships and work/study programs.

International Scholarships

Scholarships are free money that can be used toward your education and should be your first stop when looking for aid to fund your studies. Academic International advisers can help you find scholarships; our advisers will help you search by country, field of study, or university.

International Student Loans

Obtaining an education is expensive and educational costs continue to rise. If you need help funding your international education, we can discuss all the international student loan options available to students studying inside the US and around the globe.

University/College Search

The school you attend as an international student can affect your level of education and experience abroad. Academic International advisers can help you explore your school options state-by-state or by country. We can help you find a school with the qualifications, location, and budget that you want.

English Language Assistance

One of the best ways to learn English is to submerge yourself in a culture, where English is the official language, and supplement with additional English language tutoring. English language tutors have different approaches and methods for teaching English, because of this you will want to find a tutor in your area that fits your style of learning. We can help you explore your tutoring options and improve your English language skills.

Test Preparation

SAT, TOEFL, GMAT, IELTS, LSAT…you may have heard about these tests, but do you really know what they are and if you will need to take them? Get the break down on what each test is and who typically takes each test. If you have to take a test, ask questions; get tips and support from our expert advisers to help you prepare.

Writing Skills Development

International students are required to write essays. If you are not accustomed to writing essays, this can be an especially hard task. Get tips, advice, and support from Academic International advisers who are expert writers and experienced with helping students develop their writing, language, and communication skills.

International Student Travel

Hopefully during your studies abroad, you will take full advantage of being in a new location and travel as much as possible in and around your host country; even if, you’re on a budget. The trick to being able to travel, when on a tight budget, is to find great deals from a reliable source. Contact Academic International.net  for help with international student travel.

Communication

You may be surprised to find out that International cell phone calls can lead to shockingly expensive bills. Even with cell phones being as common place as they are these days, it’s not always the cheapest and most convenient way to keep in touch with friends and family internationally. However, the cheapest ways to communicate are not always the best ways to communicate. If you’re an international student and need a way to keep in touch while on the go, contact AcademicInternational.net to find out the advantages & disadvantages of the communication options available to you.

International Student Insurance

Whether you are studying abroad outside the US or will be an international student inside the United States, you will need to know about international student insurance. In either case, we can explain all the options that are available to you including the most affordable & reliable plans that are used by most international students. Our experienced team of advisers are able to discuss plans that will meet any coverage requirements you have.

Textbooks

Textbooks are required for most academic programs and can be one of the largest expenses for any student. AcademicInternational.net advisers can help students explore options for new, used, and electronic books. We focus on convenience & affordability; so that, the cost of books does not disadvantage our students.

Student Housing

International students need to know where to live and how to find affordable housing fast. Academic International advisers are experts on housing resources for students. Depending on your school and location, we will help you explore all the housing options available that meet your specific housing needs.

Student Furnishings

Moving to the US and don't know what to do about furnishing your apartment or dorm? Shipping your own furniture or buying new furnishings is expensive. Academic International advisers have helped hundreds of international students furnish their college apartments on a tight budget fast.
