Background of the Study
Academic advising plays a crucial role in guiding students through their academic journey, helping them make informed decisions regarding course selection, career planning, and meeting graduation requirements. At the University of Jos, academic advising is traditionally done manually by faculty members or academic advisors, but this system has its limitations, such as overburdened advisors, inconsistent advice, and potential errors in course selection. With advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), universities are increasingly adopting AI-based academic advising systems that leverage machine learning algorithms to provide personalized, real-time guidance to students. These AI systems use historical academic data, student preferences, and performance metrics to recommend suitable courses and academic paths for each student. This study evaluates the effectiveness of AI-based academic advising systems at the University of Jos, focusing on their impact on student satisfaction, academic performance, and the efficiency of the advising process.
Statement of the Problem
Manual academic advising systems at the University of Jos have shown limitations in terms of scalability, consistency, and timeliness. Students often face challenges in receiving timely and personalized advice, which may lead to poor course selection and delays in graduation. AI-based advising systems have the potential to address these challenges by offering real-time, data-driven recommendations that align with students' academic goals. However, there are concerns regarding the adoption of AI systems, including their effectiveness, user acceptance, and potential for bias in recommendations. This study seeks to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of AI-based academic advising systems at the University of Jos.

Significance of the Study
This study will contribute to the knowledge of AI applications in higher education, specifically in academic advising. The findings can help the University of Jos improve its advising process, optimize resource allocation, and ensure that students receive accurate and timely academic guidance. The study will also offer valuable insights into how AI can be integrated into other areas of university administration.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the evaluation of AI-based academic advising systems at the University of Jos (Jos North LGA, Plateau State). The scope will be limited to assessing student satisfaction, academic performance, and the adoption of the system. Limitations include potential biases in data collection and resistance to technology adoption.
