Advising
Mission/Overall Purpose:
Advising is critical to the successful completion of your degree program requirements. Staff and Faculty members in the department and Dean’s Office serve as advisors and are an excellent source of information, not only to help guide you through your degree program, but also to assist you in career planning. Each student in the College is assigned to an academic advisor upon entering one of the departmental academic programs. If at any point a student wishes to change his/her academic advisor or major to another faculty member, he/she must obtain the consent of that faculty member and/or Dean’s Office.
What We Do:
- Monitor, implement and communicate information about academic policies, procedures, and graduation requirements.
- Assist students in clarifying their academic goals and objectives.
- Provide individual and/or group advising opportunities to assist students in achieving academic success.
- Oversee the advising and orientation process of all new freshman and transfer students.
- Offer class selection and schedule advising on a semester basis.
- Make referrals and direct students to appropriate campus units and resources.
- Review and certify student academic records for graduation, probation, and suspension.
- Demonstrate a high level of professionalism and maintain complete confidentiality in advising/counseling matters.
