Rarely is it part of an official title; but if Advisor comes before a person’s name as part of the person’s official title, recast the sentence if possible and change Advisor to adviser: Maria Smith, academic adviser and financial aid coordinator in School of Continuing & Professional Studies NOT Academic Advisor and Financial Aid Coordinator in School of Continuing & Professional Studies Maria Smith.
If recasting is not possible, retain the Advisor spelling.
NOTE: Advisor is correct for resident advisors in the Office of Residential Life.
