RESOURCES FOR STUDENT SUCCESS
Communication
The email account provided to students by Birmingham-Southern College is the primary
tool for official communication. The College will send official messages to students at
the electronic email addresses provided to them, and expects students to review their
email accounts regularly, responding as is appropriate.
Faculty Advising
Comprehensive advising is an integral part of the academic program at Birmingham-
Southern College and of students’ broader experiences at the College. All students are
assigned a faculty advisor who assists in setting academic and professional goals,
weighing options, and accessing resources that are available to ensure success at the
College. The student and the faculty advisor work together and have shared
responsibility in the advising process. Ultimately, however, each student is responsible
for understanding and completing the requirements for graduation.
