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.
The University is committed to developing each student to his or her fullest potential. To this end, programs in each college have been established to improve the academic achievement and persistence of students on academic probation and other students in need of academic assistance. Such assistance is provided through a variety of instructional and information services.
