ACHIEVING ACADEMIC SUCCESS
Academic Advising
Academic advisors will assist you in identifying your education and career goals,
developing a schedule of classes, and establishing an individualized Student
Education Plan (SEP). They will provide you with discipline-specific information
that includes the sequence of courses necessary for graduation or transfer as well
as information on career and employment. Assessment scores and school
transcripts are necessary for your first advising appointments.
Once you have completed 15 units of college credit you are required to have a
completed SEP on file, which should be updated every semester. If you are a
student athlete and/or receive financial aid, you must have an SEP on file to
maintain eligibility. Academic Advisors monitor your progress on an ongoing
basis.
Academic Advising for Student Athletes
If you are a student athlete, academic advisors will provide you with discipline
specific information that includes the sequence of courses necessary for
graduation or transfer. They will also assist in providing a clear outlook of career
and employment opportunities in your major or interest area. Once you have
completed 15 units of college credit you are required to have a completed Student
Education Plan (SEP) on file for your declared major to maintain eligibility. The
SEP should be updated every semester.
Since most student athletes are uncertain of their transfer destination until their
final semester of attendance, advising concerning course selection is critical. If you
are prepared for college level coursework during your first semester, advising will
focus on a transferrable transcript to a wide variety of colleges and universities.
Academic advisors work closing with coaches and the Athletic Department
regarding NCAA I, NCAA II and NAIA transfer eligibility requirements.
