advisor / adviser

Two spellings of the same noun.

Both adviser and advisor are standard. Adviser is the older and still widely used spelling. Advisor is common in job titles and institutional names. Choose one spelling for a document and keep it, except when a proper title is fixed the other way.

Examples

UseShe is a faculty adviser.

UseHe works as a financial advisor.

Avoidmixing adviser and advisor for the same role in one article

Neither spelling is a mistake. Titles and letterheads decide themselves. The above is our guidance.
