02:20:00 Academic Advising
-
This policy outlines the expectations for academic advising for all degree-seeking students and their advisors. Definitions
-
Academic advising is a proactive partnership between the student and the advisor. Advisors assist every student to identify and cultivate their strengths while recognizing and addressing barriers to student success. Engagement is student-centered with an intentional focus on building positive rapport and a relationship of trust with all students. Through informed decision making, students are guided through their curricular pathways toward the successful completion of their academic and career goals.
-
Expectations
-
All degree-seeking students must meet with their assigned academic advisor to develop an academic plan and obtain their registration PIN before enrolling in classes.
-
While the responsibility of communication between advisor and advisee should generally be initiated by the advisee, advisors are expected to respond to student inquiries within 2 business days. Should academic advisors be absent from the college for an extended time (e.g. vacation, sick leave), it is the responsibility of the advisor, or their supervisor, to continue to provide seamless advising services for students.
-
Using a digital format deemed appropriate by the Vice President of Academic Affairs, academic advisors should document each advising session and maintain records of students’ academic plans to support their continued progress toward degree completion.
