Academic Advising

The Counseling Center is a major resource for students adjusting to and navigating through college. The Center focuses on academic success and developing the necessary skills and understanding for students to navigate the system effectively. Freshmen Advising Seminars introduce students to the wide array of services provided by the college. The seminar includes interpretation of initial math and verbal placement scores and selection of appropriate courses. Students are prepared for their first semester at the college and equipped with the knowledge of important tools and tips to be successful.

Further into their tenure, students are supported with ongoing advising regarding the choice of courses or the selection and change of major. Student learning styles are also assessed to understand strengths and needs, and help students improve needed skills. Graduation audits are completed by assigned counselors as students prepare to complete their studies or transfer to another institution. Services of the Center focus on:

• Selecting Courses
• Selecting Advisors
• College transfer
• Changing Majors
• Review of Program of Study (Major)
• Academic Success
