Academic Advising
Amy McKinley,
M.A., manager
Marc S. Adkins, M.Ed., coordinator
All admitted
students are assigned a faculty or staff adviser who is a specialist
in the student's area of interest. All students are encouraged
to make regular contact with their advisers. Advising is required
for all freshmen and sophomores, when a student wants to change
program, major or college, or if his or her grade point average
drops below 2.0.
Although an
adviser checks each student's record, the responsibility for meeting
graduation requirements lies with the student and not with the
adviser, the department or the dean. Thorough familiarity with
the Undergraduate Catalog is essential.
Students who
are undecided as to their career goals and those returning to
school after a lengthy absence have the opportunity to discuss
their interests and objectives with a career counselor in the
student services office. Each semester the college offers courses
which help students make the transition from work, home or high
school to college.
Advisers from
the University's main campus are available at specific times each
semester to provide information on bachelor degree programs.
