SUMa

SUMa is the council for academic advising and student guidance at UM. Study advisors, career counsellors, academic advisors and legal/financial counsellors meet frequently to share knowledge and to jointly develop a vision and policy for advising.

SUMa’s core objectives for study advising are closely related to the strategic goals of the University:

• Study advising supports contributes to effective goal-setting by students, academically and professionally, and
• encourages and facilitates students to reflect on their abilities, opportunities, and ambitions, and make plans on the basis of that reflection,
• and stimulates students to assume responsibility, and to act independently.

National and international cooperation
SUMa has ties to the following organisations:

• The Landelijke Vereniging van Studieadviseurs (LVSA)
• The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA)
