The Advising and Counseling Continuum: Triggers for Referral

Abstract

In this article, we describe a continuum of responsibilities shared by faculty and nonfaculty academic advisors as well as personal counselors at 4-year colleges and universities. After addressing terminology, we describe a continuum of issues that advisors and counselors routinely address and identify some triggers that might suggest that a referral from an advisor to a trained counselor is warranted.Relative emphasis: *practice, theory, research
