Which statement best captures the scope of academic advising?

• A. Planning Your Educational Path, Registering for Courses, and Reviewing Program Requirements
• B. Coordinating Campus Transport Schedules
• C. Overseeing Campus Events
• D. Managing the Bookstore Inventory

Answer: (A)

Academic advising centers on guiding a student through their degree path—planning which courses to take, when to take them, and how those courses fit into the requirements for graduation. The statement that includes planning your educational path, registering for courses, and reviewing program requirements captures exactly what advisors help with: mapping out a sequence of classes, making sure prerequisites and core requirements are met, and ensuring the plan leads to timely graduation. This reflects the practical steps students take to progress in their program and stay on track with degree goals.

The other options describe tasks outside the advising role. Coordinating campus transport, overseeing campus events, or managing bookstore inventory are operational or administrative duties handled by different offices, not by academic advisors who focus on academic planning, degree requirements, and course selection.
