Advising Services

Advising is a key service designed to assist students during their entire academic career. Advisors advocate for all students with the goal of empowerment. Students are expected to take an active role in their education including attending classes, performing assigned work in a timely manner, participating in lectures and adhering to university policies and guidelines. The advisor clarifies the rights and responsibilities of the student and explains the university's expectations. They also work with students who have special academic needs or who are experiencing academic difficulty and can facilitate connections with programs designed to provide support for academic success.
