To describe the assignment and function of faculty advisors. Responsibility The Director of Student Records and Registration with the assistance of the Director of Technology Services, both under the direction of Chief Student Services Officer, are responsible for assigning students as advisees to appropriate advisors. The advisor is responsible for providing academic advisement to the student as needed and maintaining adequate advisement records. Advisors maintain advisement records and student progress records in order to be able to better advise students. Usually this is the student's program head or a faculty member teaching courses in the student's curriculum.
Academic advisors are always available for assigned hours during registration periods.
Yet, students should never feel they have to wait for advice until a registration period. If an appointment cannot be arranged at the convenience of both the student and advisor at a time other than registration periods, the student may receive advisement through the Counseling Center. Background Distribution of this procedure is to document a partially ongoing procedure already in effect since 1970.
