Advising Center

Academic Advising

In order to assist students in achieving their educational goals, the University provides advising services through the Academic Advising Center. The faculty and staff, who work as Advisors, assist students with advising or degree program questions, goal setting, course registration, referral to campus resources, and other services designed to contribute to their academic experience. Advisors familiar with the University's educational programs assist them during registration periods. The Director of Advising also ensures that students are assigned to a degree program advisor and coordinates the placement testing program, new student advising and registration, the Peer Advising program and the Program of Basic Studies. The ultimate responsibility lies with the individual student to comply with all academic policies and to fulfill graduation requirements.
