About Us
Mission and Goals
The Academic Advising Center offers new student orientation, mandatory first year advising, and advising on General Education and graduation requirements for all students. The Center engages students in a developmental process that helps clarify and implement individual educational plans consistent with their skills, interests, and values. Through individual appointments, group advising sessions and presentations, the professional staff, faculty advisors, and student interns help students understand the university's academic requirements as well as its policies and procedures. As a result, students are better prepared to take responsibility for their education and persist towards a timely graduation.
Goal 1: Help students take responsibility for their education and persist toward a timely graduation.
Goal 2: Provide comprehensive advising through a three-phase program, beginning with Orientation.
