AMP Certification

Earning AMP Certification

Each academic year, advisors can earn AMP certification through our designated point system. Points are earned various ways, including attending professional development events, presenting at conferences, teaching, taking classes, completing special projects, and earning outside certifications. Remember, half of advisors’ certification points must come from AMP sponsored events; at least 10 points from AMP events are required, even if the advisor’s overall points requirement is prorated. Use the AMP tab in the menu above to access the official points guide and a calendar of upcoming sponsored events. To request points for a non-AMP event, click the appropriate link below to be directed to the dynamic form. Feel free to submit any questions to the BRAAN Chair or Dr. Sluder. The AMP committee meets monthly to review any point submissions. 

Questions about your current point standing? Send an email to the BRAAN Chair or Dr. Sluder. 

Certified Advisor, Use Your AMP Funds!

Funding is available to MTSU advisors who received AMP certification for the prior year (May 1 – April 30).  To submit a funding request, email Dr. Sluder and copy the BRAAN Chair.  Funding preference goes towards professional development travel like conferences, but here are other examples of fund use:

• webinar and conference registration fees
• books pertaining to academic advising and your professional development
• certification programs
• professional classes outside of MTSU (Tip: MTSU employees can use a fee waiver for a class at any TN state school!)

Be creative!  If interested in something, just ask. All funding requests must go through Dr. Sluder for final approval.
