Student Services<br />
Academic Advising<br />
Academic advising is a vital service to students regarding programs of study and career options. It ensures that<br />
students have information necessary to make good decisions about their future. Students are assigned an advisor; an<br />
advisor may be a faculty or academic advisor, to provide guidance on academic programs in general, and degree<br />
checklists, specifically. Degree checklists are issued by the Registrar’s Office or may be obtained from an advisor.<br />
The checklist should be utilized before registering for classes. While advisors are initially assigned to students,<br />
students may request a change by completing a Change of Advisor form available in the Registrar’s Office.<br />

Orientation, Referral Services, GED Testing, Transfer Assistance and Veteran Assistance. An advisor who assists<br />
