We are committed to helping students meet the challenge and achieve success in the classroom, in their personal lives, and in planning for the future. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the following resources provided by the college to maximize their chances for success. However, faculty advisors are assigned by the college to assist students in planning their coursework, doing well academically, meeting degree requirements, entry into the job market or graduate school, and coping with the stresses which might occur during the semester.
Advisors also refer students to other college resources when special or additional help is needed.
Students experiencing academic problems are strongly encouraged to seek out their advisor on a regular basis. The Academic Support Center provides information resources for faculty advisors. These data can then be used by advisors to better understand and assist each advisee assigned to them. This is an extended orientation experience through which a number of freshmen entering are given additional opportunity within a structured setting to integrate into college life here. The Developmental Education program is designed to provide support for CNC students who demonstrate the need for remediation in basic academic skills, as determined by scores on the ACT, SAT or other standardized testing.
