The College Faculty are dedicated to guiding students along the paths of their educational development toward becoming healthcare professionals. As Academic Advisors, the Faculty are committed to helping students follow the curriculum plan, taking into consideration the student’s life goals, aspirations, career path desires, interests, strengths, challenges, priorities, obligations, and backgrounds. The degree of success to which students achieve their goals is based on establishing an educational partnership with their academic advisors.
The Academic Advisors monitor students’ progress through the program curriculum and general education courses. The Academic Advisor may connect them to learning resources needed for achievement of an Associate Degree in the health professions. In addition, Academic Advisors assist students in identifying areas of challenge, offering assistance and information for conquering these obstacles. A student’s advisor will be their partner, mentor, and guide throughout their academic experience at the College.
What a student can expect from their individual Academic Advisor:
- Concern for the student’s welfare as an individual.
- Assistance and guidance with career choices and decisions.
- Information about college and program policies and program requirements.
- Support and assistance with study skills, test taking tips, and class preparation.
- Referral for any personal/private matters.
- Information about general education courses.
Students must meet with their advisor at least once/semester at midterm. Once the student and advisor have met, the advisor will remove the advisor-hold from the student’s account allowing the student to register for courses for the next semester.
