Academic Advising
Academic advisors and counselors assist students in designing an educational plan that meets their academic and personal goals. They also serve as a referral source for the many supportive services and resources at the College. Students are urged to maintain contact with their advisors to be certain they are on track to complete their program of study. Students assume ultimate responsibility for course selection
All first-time-in-college (FTIC) degree-seeking students must complete New Student
Orientation before being allowed to register for classes.
