In an institution as large and diverse as the University of Georgia, there is a great need for academic and student support services of many kinds. Academic advising is crucial to all students, and our office supports the work of dedicated advisors on all of our campuses. The Office of the Vice President for Instruction is also responsible for the university’s academic honesty procedures known as A Culture of Honesty. Additionally, students needing extra assistance to be academically successful can visit our Division of Academic Enhancement to receive help from expert faculty and staff.
