Several privileges on campus require an I.D. card and it can be used as a debit card for purchases at the Bookstore or the Servery. Part-time students are also eligible for a card. Academic Advising Academic advising is a process, ideally one of continuity and commitment, which involves both students and faculty. In addition to helping students plan course schedules, advisers use the medium of the curriculum to facilitate the intellectual, ethical, personal and social development of college students. Advisers help students explore academic options and personal goals and the relationship of these to the practical world of work.
Advisers are accountable for the information and advice they provide.
Understand admission requirements and the relationship of ACT scores to placement in remedial or honors courses. Provide extended office hours during registration periods so students receive the information and guidance to complete the course selection process. Keep thorough records to chart academic progress toward graduation and to maintain the continuity of the advising process. Be sensitive to the diversity of students being advised and knowledgeable of campus tutoring and support services available to them. Be a resource and student advocate in the sometimes intimidating world of academia.
