Academic Mentoring

At Heidelberg University, we recognize that advising and the timely delivery of information are critical components to your academic success. Academic Advising at Heidelberg is referred to as Academic Mentoring.

Academic Mentoring provides students a way to meet the University’s four Responsibility Goals

1. Value and pursue academic excellence and intellectual growth
2. Develop personal and professional responsibility
3. Act with integrity in all aspects of one’s life 
4. Become engaged through participation and service in one’s communities and the ability to incorporate that understanding into goal setting and planning in their academic, professional and personal lives;

Quality mentoring is essential in helping students make the most of their college experience. Mentoring supports and reinforces the interconnectedness between general education, major coursework, and co- and extra-curricular experiences. Academic mentoring supports the University’s mission of a community of learning that promotes and nurtures intellectual, personal and professional development, leading to a life of purpose with distinction.
