Abstract
This study examined the relationship between academic advising and degree completion time. Regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between academic advising behavioral style, student satisfaction with advising, number of advising sessions, and student status to degree completion time. Participants were students that applied to graduate in the 2009-2010 academic year from Humboldt State University (N=232). The Academic Advising Inventory was administered to participants, along with questions about student status, online through the website: http://www.surveymonkey.com. A significant correlation between student satisfaction ratings with academic advising and degree completion time was found. This study supports a link between academic advising and decreased degree completion time.
