  • Advisement...
    Advisement is the process by which students are provided course recommendations that will aid them in staying on academic track. Advisement occurs once each semester in preparation for the succeeding semester. Also during this period, students are advised on special academic matters such as Petitions, Transfers, Appeals, and Graduation. Students are encouraged to seek the advice of a faculty advisor any time during the academic year.
