  Aims: University plays an important role in increasing the competency and ability of students. Students do not become successful on their own and the University advisor can be a key of success. This study was carried out with the aim of assessing the students’ viewpoints about the university advisors’ duties and evaluating their satisfaction with their university advisors.

  Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on medical sciences students of Babul University of Medical Sciences in the first academic semester of 2009-10. 231 students were selected by cluster randomized sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire and were analyzed by multi-variant regression, independent T-test, Chi-square test and variance analysis using SPSS 16 software.

  Results: 71.7% of the students had few monthly refers to their advisors. Only 13.4% of the participants had proper awareness of the role of University advisors. 87.1% agreed with the presence of senior students beside the advisor. Most of the students were not satisfied with their advisors’ practice (M=35.4). Students satisfaction with advisors' practice was predicted by the visiting frequency (β=0.369, p=0.001) and their field of study (β=0.238, p=0.003).

  Conclusion: Students have little awareness of University advisors’ roles and duties and are not satisfied with their advisors’ practice. Creating a good advisor-student relationship is strongly recommended in this regard.

Keywords: University Advisor, Students\' Viewpoint, Students\' Satisfaction, Role
