Every faculty member does student advising, every student is assigned a faculty advisor.
For most students the summer advisor will also be their freshman advisor. As students become acquainted with faculty in their majors, they usually choose new advisors. The service is free of charge. The Writing Center, which is sponsored by the English department and located in the same building as the Academic Support Center, provides tutors and faculty advisors to any student, instructor and administrative staff member who requests help with writing skills. In this program, students who have successfully completed courses are utilized as mentors for students who are currently taking the courses.
