Academic Advising 

 

Academic Advising

Academic Advisors help you develop the skills you need to make sound academic decisions. Through advising, you make connections between your academic interests, your long-term goals, and career opportunities. Advisors help you with educational planning, university transfer options, college application processes, and graduation requirements. Advisors offer support while encouraging you to take responsibility for your success.
