Academic Advising

Every student is personally responsible to meet all requirements, including but not limited to stated competencies, grade-point indexes, specified courses, total numbers of credits in each stated area of study, and total number of credits for the degree program identified in the catalog at the time of enrollment.

An advisor is assigned to each student and is available to discuss academic program requirements and other program information. Each student has access to their academic record and degree/major requirements via the Internet and portal. The purpose of academic advising is to support students from enrollment to completion of degree requirements.  Advisors help students understand all degree requirements and options to meet those requirements.  Advisors also assist students in understanding policies and procedures, and communicating with departments such as Financial Aid and Student Account Services. Advisors are available to meet one-on-one with students face to face, through email, by phone, or via video conference.

It is important that students maintain contact with their academic advising team in order to ensure timely progression toward degree completion as well as appropriate scheduling for maximum financial aid benefit.
