ASUA Academic Affairs Directors Kim Bui and Cassi Sonn created an online message board where students can post questions regarding issues such as academic advising.

Students can post questions, feedback, comments and ideas about academic advising, general education classes, class availability and course/teacher evaluations.

There is also a general message board students can access that Associated Students of the University of Arizona staff will continuously supervise. Advisers and administrations will also have access to the all the boards.

"We have been looking for a way to establish communication among the students themselves and exploring the possibility of giving students a direct communication line to advisors, administrators and faculty," Bui said.

To access the online message boards students can go to asua.com.proboards3.com/
