Offered by the Advising Office, academic advising provides students with information on the College's policies and academic regulations. Students are assisted in the selection of appropriate courses to match their chosen area of study. For the purpose of helping students return to good standing, the staff works closely with students on academic probation.

Advisors make available a variety of documents, publications, and catalogs, which provide information regarding personal growth, the world of work, careers, and educational opportunities. Academic advisors can also help individuals to become aware of agencies, services, and personnel who may provide assistance beyond the limits of the programs offered by the College.

Every student will be assigned to an academic advisor who will meet with the student prior to registration and during the semester on an individual or group basis. In addition, the advisor is available during specific counseling hours for those who wish to drop by. The advising staff, in coordination with other departments, sponsors workshops on several topics relevant to students.

The Office of Advising is open from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays. In addition, there are advisors located at the College Satellites.

Personal and Specialized Counseling

Advisors have a Counseling Referral System to assist those students who are in need of personal and specialized counseling services.
