Students often require a job with a convenient location, flexible scheduling, and a low pressure environment that will not add stress during their time in school. Looking for work 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 employment process.

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.

Contact Academic International.net for help with where to find and how to receive student travel discounts.

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.
