What is the purpose of Academic Advisement?
To assist students in the planning of their academic program that incorporates professional, family, leisure and community service goals. We use a developmental theory of advisement. Students progress through the educational system, constantly changing and challenging themselves. Academic advisement should be viewed as a continuous process of clarification and evaluation. The ultimate responsibility for remaking decisions about life gals and educational plans rests with the individual student. The academic advisor assists by helping to identify and assess alternatives and the consequences of decisions.
