Academic Advisement Center

The Academic Advisement Center supports and promotes the University's mission to "foster student growth and development" while serving and reflecting "a population which is diverse in age, culture, language and race." Professional staff advisors provide developmental academic advising to all generally admitted, degree-seeking undergraduates who have not yet declared a major. Students are assigned to a staff advisor with whom they are encouraged to meet until they officially declare a major. Throughout the advising process students are provided with opportunities to:

- Learn about educational options, degree requirements, and university policies and procedures
- Clarify educational objectives
-Develop an academic plan appropriate to educational/career goals and consistent with academic strengths

Advisors provide guidance in course selection, major selection and academic planning. Advisors introduce students to the many support services and resources available and serve as advocates, helping students with problems related to the academic environment while teaching them how to advocate on their own behalf. Advisors continuously strive to encourage student independence, responsible decision-making, and persistence towards degree completion.

The Academic Advisement Center is located in the D Building, Room D -130.
