Mission Statement:
The primary responsibility of an academic advisor is to guide students in making wise selections of course offerings with careful attention to institutional policies and degree requirements. In addition, effective advising will also assist students in identifying available internal and external resources that will have a positive impact on their SCC experience. Consideration of each student as a unique individual with unique needs is recognized as the foundation of SCC's advising program.
