Academic Advising

Main Campus Academic Advisors

Undergraduate and graduate students attending the Main Campus are assigned to an Academic Advisor when they first enroll.  The Advising Office works with students throughout the school year to ensure that they are meeting their goals both academically and personally.  Advising is a great resource to all students and can provide them with the tools necessary to be successful in and out of the classroom.  Advisors work closely with the faculty regarding student performance and concerns that may occur during the semester.  Academic Advisors are the students’ main point of contact and should expect regular communications regarding academic progress, registration, and related matters.  Students are expected to connect with their Academic Advisor at least twice per semester to discuss their progress and go over any questions or academic concerns they may have.  If students need immediate assistance they are directed to e-mail [email protected]. The Advising Office is located on the first floor of Torrance Hall.

Accelerated Degree Program Academic Success Counselors

Undergraduate students enrolling in online programs are assigned to New Student Academic Success Counselors when they first enroll.  The New Student Academic Success Counselors work closely with the Admissions Team, as well as with the associates delivering the First Year Experience Program, to assist students who may face academic challenges. Once students complete their first 3 terms, they move to work with a program/school based Academic Success Counselor.

Transfer and graduate students work directly with their Academic Success Counselors in their specific major or school.
