What are Academic Advisors? What will they help me do?

Academic advisors help students to plan a course of study that is appropriate to their academic background and intellectual ability, and is consistent with your education and career goals.  Academic advisors provide clarification on degree requirements, process transfer and AP credits, provide information on academic resources and certify the completion of graduation requirements.

All students have access to Academic Advising and are encouraged to meet with their advisor during their academic career. Any student that has questions about their academic requirements or progress, as well as those who are experiencing academic distress should speak with their advisor.

If personal issues are affecting my academic performance, do I need to contact my advisor?

Academic advising is a shared responsibility between the advisor and the student. We recommend that you stay in regular contact with your advisor, especially when you are feeling challenged. Your advisor will work with you to ensure that all courses of action can be considered for a more favorable outcome. He or she also can direct you to other helpful resources on campus.
