Schedule an Appointment with an Advisor
Academic advising assists students in the clarification of their life/career goals and in the development of educational plans for the realization of these goals.
It is a decision-making process by which students realize their maximum educational potential through communication and information exchanges with an advisor; it is ongoing, multifaceted, and the responsibility of both student and advisor.
The advisor serves as a facilitator of communication, a coordinator of learning experiences through course and career planning and academic progress review, and an agent of referral to other campus agencies as necessary
