and confidential services in the areas of academic, career, personal
and special needs issues. Counselors are available to meet with
enrolled students on a drop-in or appointment basis in the Student Development

Academic
Advising
Counselors, student services professionals, and faculty advisors
provide information about college curriculum, programs, policies,
course selection and help students with academic procedures such as
change of major, withdrawal from college, and adding and dropping courses.
Students who are planning to complete a degree or certificate at the
College are assigned an academic advisor early in their first semester.
The advisor provides information and assistance regarding program requirements,
course content, academic policies, college transfer, and career
planning.
Students must meet with their advisor before registration, and at other
intervals prior to their final semester. In the student’s
next to last semester, the academic advisor will complete a degree or
certificate audit in order to verify that degree requirements have been
met for graduation.
