Academic Advising and Transfer Transition

The Office of Academic Advising empowers students to take ownership of their educational experience and responsibility for achieving their academic goals by providing individualized academic advising in a supportive environment. 

"Students First, Support Always"

The Office of Academic Advising and Transfer Transition is a hub for an array of academic advising services as we provide a supportive environment for students to explore academic opportunities. All students are welcome to drop in or schedule an appointment with a professional advisor to receive academic guidance or help with course registration. We also have a team of trained peer advisors that provide assistance with course selection and the preregistration process.

SUPPORT WE PROVIDE

Academic advising plays an integral role in the success of a student’s academic career.

The following services are provided to students:

• Assistance with course selection, the preregistration process, and other academic concerns
• Advice regarding academic progress, degree completion, and graduation requirements
• Assistance for students who have not declared a major with the process of exploring possible academic majors
• Opportunities to engage in meaningful conversations about educational and career goals
• Assistance with the process of returning to good academic standing for students on Academic Warning
• Assistance with exploring academic success strategies and providing referrals to other student support services 
• Planning for alternate credit-earning opportunities, such as internships or the CLEP exam
• Access to Professional Advisors who serve as a link to various academic departments and campus offices, such as the Registrar or the Office of Financial Aid

OUR VISION

The Office of Academic Advising serves as a liaison with academic departments, faculty advisors, and relevant administrative areas (e.g., Registrar, Office of Financial Aid) in an effort to assist students in developing the skills needed to be successful during their educational experience.
