Academic
Advising
The Academic Advising Office, located in LA 221,
is staffed by five full-time Advisors and three support staff members.
Academic Advisors work with new Weekday College students for the
first one to three semesters and advise all students in the Weekend
College program. Academic Advisors work with all students so that
they understand the curriculum and reinforce practice of the eight
abilities. Advisors are available to see students by individual
appointment, through group-advising sessions and by phone or e-mail
contact. In addition to individual student advising, the staff also:
- registers new undergraduate, certificate and
major equivalency students
- advises continuing students in both the Weekday
and Weekend College programs
- coordinates the Peer Advising and Student-On-Leave
Program
- produces and reviews graduation audits
- registers students who are returning from an
Official Withdrawal
- refers students to other college resources

Office Hours/Contact Information
For
New Students
Academic Advising works in conjunction with the Office of Admissions
to register incoming students. Once a new student is accepted to
the college and has returned her gold registration forms to the
Admissions Office, Academic Advising will begin the process of registering
the new student. Once this is completed, a Registration Packet is
mailed to the new student.
New students have an opportunity to meet their Advisor
at Orientation-Passport to Success, Beginning Class Schedule, or
by scheduling an appointment at anytime prior to the beginning of
the semester. New students are encouraged to contact their advisor
prior to the start of the semester with any questions they may have.
