Publication Guidelines

Academic Advising Today is the quarterly electronic publication (e-zine) of the National Academic Advising Association.

ARTICLES

NACADA welcomes member articles and opinion pieces that are directed to practicing advisors and advising administrators. These articles are printed as space is available and should be approximately 750-1000 words in length.

General article authors should strive to represent a balanced perspective on their chosen topic. The ideal submission is educational in nature, positive in tone, and focused on particular aspects of academic advising.
"Vantage Point" articles feature the unique story of one of the myriad of advisors who makes up our diverse association. Despite the fact that some may think advisors to be a generic group, advisors are indeed diverse. We come from different backgrounds, advise different students, and work in vastly different settings. In short, every advisor has a different VANTAGE Point!

Commission and Interest Group sponsored articles are recruited and planned-for on a yearly basis during the Annual Conference in October and are coordinated through the C/IG Chairs and Julia Wolf, C/IG Division Liaison. Authors must be current members of NACADA and the Commission or Interest Group they are representing in their article. C/IG articles follow the same Guidelines as general member articles.

General Article Guidelines & Author Agreement

In all cases, commercial messages and promotions will not be accepted; submissions must be both product- and vendor-neutral. Articles that were printed elsewhere cannot be reprinted in Academic Advising Today without written permission from the original printing source.
