The contemporary pressures of Globalization arising out of new communications, Information Technology (IT) and scientific progress have a tremendous bearing on designing of effective academic advising systems. The present research study investigates the UAE undergraduate students' attitude towards the issue of academic advising and tests whether a significant difference exists between the attitudes of three types of respondents chosen for this study. An instrument for measuring the attitudes of the students towards academic advising is developed. A sample of size of 482 students is chosen and a research framework is constructed to extract relevant factors affecting students' attitudes towards academic advising.
