The College emphasizes personalized advising across the four years and pays particular attention to transitional periods such as the beginning and end of a student's college experience.
Every student has an academic adviser selected from among the faculty and administration.
The Center coordinates the advising system and provides support and training for advisers. The Center's staff also offer programs and individual advising to students about developing sound academic skills, selecting an academic program that reflects their interests and aptitudes, choosing a major, and designing a plan for their emerging career. The Advisement Center plays an important role in the College's success in retaining and graduating students. The Center identifies students experiencing academic difficulty, assists them in developing strategies for academic success, and monitors their subsequent academic progress. Students who have disappointed expectations or who are struggling with deciding a major also receive special attention.
