Mission Statement

The Freshmen Academic Advising Services' primary purpose is to provide academic advising services to entering first time in college students.

[Students with less than 30 earned college credits]

In support of this mission, the Freshman Academic Advising Service office offers students a broad, but comprehensive array of services aimed at aiding students in developing and implementing an appropriate and meaningful educational plan.

The academic advising program is based on a developmental approach that promotes both the human and intellectual growth of students. The advisee and advisor, as partners, work together to:  define and  assess academic goals; select appropriate courses for meeting the student's academic goals; gain a clear understanding of institutional policies, procedures and resources; develop decision-making skills; and assist the student in becoming self-directed and self-sufficient.

Specifically, Freshman Academic Advising Services provide assistance with:

• providing academic advising & counsel

• course registration

• information on majors, minors and certificate programs

• other academic support resources
