Meet the Academic Advisers

What we do

Our Academic Advisers are professional staff dedicated to delivering course advice to all prospective and current taught students. They help people choose and plan their qualifications, so that they may successfully navigate their journey through university and achieve their future goals. Course advice includes:

• General orientation to qualification regulations
• Specific guidance on academic pathways
• Enrolment decisions
• Credit transfer
• Changes of course
• Academic standing
• Progression 
• Readiness for graduation and employment.

Our team ensures positive and effective experiences for people enrolling, studying and communicating with our Tiriti o Waitangi led university. We work as part of a collaborative network of university advisers, marketers, student information and customer service professionals. The team has a high impact on the lives of thousands of people studying with Massey University. This skilled team guides students to meet their particular goals, to understand and compare study pathways, to keep their study on track and to leverage value from it in their lives.

Members of the Academic Advice team are all registered with NACADA (National Academic Advising Association) and we align with the core values of the NACADA global community of academic advising: Respect, Professionalism, Inclusivity, Empowerment, Integrity, Commitment and Caring.

We're here to help you achieve your goals and reach your potential. We have an Adviser waiting to assist you.
