Academic advising
Freshmen students who have 30 credit hours or fewer are guided and assisted by our professional academic advisors. Our academic advisors work diligently to guide first-year students through the requirements for their degrees, with a particular emphasis on academic success, the development of skills that are applicable in a variety of contexts, and the creation of a strong base for a seamless progression to the status of a sophomore.
Academic advising begins with considering the student. Based on their major, our advisors assist students in making educational, career, and personal decisions. Additionally, they guide students through the process of registering for the correct classes, completing a degree, and fulfilling University requirements.
