Advising Center
Academic advisors are available to
assist the freshman student in deciding which classes to take, choosing
a major or directing them to the proper resource on campus that fits
their needs. Advisors assist by helping develop meaningful educational
plans which are compatible with life goals. The ultimate responsibility

academic advisor assists by helping to identify and assess alternatives
and consequences of decisions.
