				periodically evaluating a student's academic progress, attempting to resolve
				issues that may negatively impact the student's success, supporting the
				achievement of the student's academic and career goals by assisting the student
				in planning their academic schedules, and providing students with the needed
				connection to the various campus services.
The students' responsibilities include
				regularly meeting with an academic advisor to gain an understanding of academic
				performance standards applicable to their degree program(s), complying with
				academic policies and deadlines and accessing their Stark state college email
				for advisor messages and advising-related announcements.
