“…Surveys have shown that formal evaluations of advising are not conducted at most institutions (e.g., Crockett & Levitz, 1983;Hines, 1981;McLaughlin & Starr, 1982); however, where systematic appraisals have been undertaken, they involved ratings by students, judgments of administrators, or, less often, advisors' self-evaluation (Crockett & Levitz, 1983;Crockett, 1985;Kramer et al, 1985;Srebnik, 1988;Stickle, 1982).…”

“…Greater complexity now exists in many dimensions of advising, such as the kinds of advising personnel and their function in advisement (Crockett, 1985;Habley & McCauley, 1987;Hines, 1981;Kramer etal., 1985); the content of advising sessions (Crockett, 1985;Gordon, 1984;Kapraun & Coldren, 1982;Kramer et al, 1985;Kramer et al, 1987;Winston & Sandor, 1985); the format and setting for advising (e.g., group or individual advising, Crockett & Levitz, 1983;Gordon, 1982;Kramer, Peterson, & Spencer, 1984;Schubert, Uhlenberg, & Munski, 1985); and the advisor-student relationship (Crookston, 1972;Winston & Sandor, 1985).…”

Using data from 1,033 freshmen at a public urban university, this study examined the effect of the perceived quality of academic advising on student attrition in a model of the student attrition process. High-quality advising negatively influenced attrition through effects on GPA, satisfaction in the role of a student, the value of a college education for future employment, and intent to leave the university. Low-quality advising was related to greater attrition than was high-quality advising, but, on the other hand, low-quality advising was associated with less attrition than no advising at all. The effect size of the advising variables suggested that a more extensive provision of high-quality advising might be considered as one strategy in a multifaceted institutional effort to reduce freshman attrition.
