ABOUT THE JOB

Housed in Advising and Academic Service in Enrollment Management, the Transfer and Transition Advising Center (TTAC), was created in 2016 to meet the needs of any student in academic transition. As a large, research I institution, the University of Cincinnati can be a complex place to navigate; TTAC advisors help students manage this transition. This advising position would report to TTAC leadership and advise current UC students who are in academic transition, such as discussing changing majors or academic concerns, and support transfer student initiatives and the mission of the TTAC. 

 

A Transfer and Transition Advisor will meet with current students to discuss their educational, professional, and personal goals. Advisors use technology such as My Bearcat Network, Catalyst (PeopleSoft), Canvas and many more, to help students find their best fit major and plan their academic path forward. The TTAC uses all forms of advising including in-person, virtual, email, and phone interactions. A TTAC Advisor may also work with visiting students to help them become a nonmatriculated student, register for courses, and acclimate to UC.  The TTAC supports the general advising community and advisors may help in efforts to increase student retention and success.
