Advising and Academic Success

The Office of Advising and Academic Success helps students attain their best possible academic outcomes.  The Office provide services to ensure that students move into and through courses to graduate successfully, ideally within four years.  Academic Success provides student-centered services to promote academic achievement by strengthening academic skills and identifying barriers to success.  Services offered by the Office of Academic Success include: 

One-on-one Academic Counseling - The staff meets with students to discuss their academic status. These meetings are by appointment and are often initiated from a faculty member referral.   

Academic Resources and Referrals - Students may obtain information on a variety of topics, including time management, test preparation, and note-taking. This information may be delivered in individual meetings or group settings. The staff also assists students in identifying and connecting with other campus resources. 

Peer Learning - Peer Learning Associates are trained to assist students with coursework by helping them gain a better understanding of the material. Peer Learning is offered for a variety of subjects including: biology, chemistry, languages, genetics, and physics. Assistance is also available for  mathematics, and writing. The hours during which learning associates are available vary each semester.
