Advisors for Academic Programs

Each student will be assigned an academic advisor as part of the application process. Advisors are faculty members who help students plan and complete academic goals without unnecessary delay and expense. Your advisor will assist you with course selection and make sure the courses you take are in the proper sequence to meet the completion requirements for the program of study you have chosen.

In addition, academic advisors can offer students opportunities to enhance their education by making them aware of the various resources available to them throughout the College community.

Academic advisors also play an important role in the educational progress of their advisees by continually monitoring and evaluating their progression, as well as helping them to clarify their educational goals and values.
