Through this partnership, students from local schools spend time visiting the campus. Students who come to the Center, either on their own or after being referred by an instructor, learn about the wide array of services available to them, including academic advising, tutoring and assistance coping with disabilities. The staff of the Center also run workshops for new students to orient them to the many academic resources available on campus. The College's student technology access system, InfoBear , provides students with 24 hour electronic access to their academic records and grades from kiosks strategically placed in all campus buildings. Faculty advising has also been enhanced through the use of technology.
Students continue to meet regularly with their assigned faculty advisors.
Candidate progress is guided through faculty advising, the use of technological resources, and a variety of published materials. Professional Education applications, state certification test registration materials and certification handbooks are distributed in introductory courses. Introductory course instructors provide advising and detailed instructions to students regarding the admission process. The student teaching application, which must be approved by the program coordinator, the department chair, and the SEAS dean, involves a review of the candidate's academic records. Candidates in advanced programs meet with their assigned faculty advisors to develop a Graduate Program Plan in the required entrance course, GP 501 Graduate Program Planning.
