Academic Advising

Faculty advisors serve as official academic advisors and provide information on availability and content of programs, program prerequisites, and graduation requirements, and the availability of courses and learning laboratories. Faculty advisors also provide educational guidance in each student’s field of interest or specialization and are available to help each student select his/ her class schedule. Advisors help provide information about the knowledge and skills required as well as information about job opportunities in the student’s field. Faculty advisors access a program plan of study for each advisee, which is used to assist students in developing a schedule for term. In addition, Degree Works, an online degree auditing tool, enables students and their advisors to review and monitor academic progress leading to graduation. It organizes academic coursework so students may identify completed courses and requirements along with the requirements that are remaining for degree completion.
