The advising process encompasses both development and communication of accurate information regarding career options, educational programs, courses of instruction, resources and College policies, and procedures to aid students in pursuing their intellectual goals. The foundation of the advising process is the relationship between advisor and student. In this process, the faculty advisor helps students to review, select, plan and reach their educational goals in a professional and mutually respectful atmosphere. Students wishing to improve their learning and studying efficiency can obtain tutoring, academic counseling, and programs for skill improvement at the Academic Support Center. The center is designed to serve academically successful students as well as students experiencing academic difficulties.
Professional tutors can help students understand and organize course material.
Students who have appropriate and current documentation of a disability may meet with the director of the support center to review the documentation, highlight strengths and challenges, and identify appropriate accommodations such as extended time for tests. Students with disabilities are responsible for self-disclosing their disability to the director and faculty if they wish to have accommodations made for them. Individual tutoring and group workshops are available for most courses offered at New England College. In addition, students may receive help with writing, time management, and study skills.
