Advisement
You are urged to work with an academic advisor to develop
a plan to attain your educational and life goals. Advisors
help you reevaluate your plans and check your progress in
this ongoing process. It is essential that you be an active
participant in planning your education because the ultimate
responsibility for making decisions about life goals and educational
plans rests with you.
The following students are strongly encouraged to seek advising:
- Students receiving financial aid or veterans benefits
- Students enrolling for the first semester
- Students enrolling first English, math, or reading courses
- Students registering for courses with prerequisites
- International students with F1 visas
An advisor can assist you with:
- general information about college policies and procedures
- the enrollment process
- the interpretation of placement test scores and recommend
classes
- general information about the academic departments and
programs offered
- selecting a major
- completing an associate degree check sheet
- an unofficial evaluation of transcripts
- a graduation audit
- if needed, referrals to other student service areas
- information about advanced placement credit, the Honors
program and the Presidential Scholarship award
