Academic advising is designed to assist and enhance the University experience. Students must know who their advisor is, and be willing to work with their advisor to complete their degree in a timely and productive fashion. Advising is an educational process that by intention and design, facilitates students’ understanding of the meaning and purpose of higher education and fosters their intellectual and personal development toward academic success and lifelong learning (NACADA, 2004).

Advising is typically a one-on-one experience after today. Enrollment for Spring is in October, Enrollment for Fall/Summer is typically right after Spring break. Your enrollment date is based upon your accumulated college credits

The easiest way to schedule an advising meeting is to email an advisor with the days and times you can meet or schedule through SSC. A typical meeting can last from 10 to 30 minutes during which your flag will be pulled and a tentative schedule will be developed for the next semester.
