The SSC provides academic advising for new students and those who have yet to declare a major. Students meet with the advisor to discuss educational plans based upon possible career goals and academic requirements. Once a student has declared a major, they are then assigned to a faculty advisor.
Advising services are also available to Level III Intensive English Program students. Services include educational planning, course selection, and registration. Please note: Students are ultimately responsible for reviewing and understanding the requirements of their chosen degree program.
Peer Academic Leaders (PALS)
A special sector within the Academic Advising Program is the Peer Academic Leaders Program (PALs). The peer academic advising program is comprised of Dean’s List students who serve as Peer Academic Advisors. This service was created to provide a mutual connection between existing and newly admitted students. Peer Academic Advisors offer support in areas of educational planning, advice with course selection, academic support advice, and academic information during PAR, Pre-Registration and Registration week. All PALs are trained and guided by the Student Success Center professional staff. Peer Academic Advisors serve Freshman students only.
