The mission of the Academic Advisement Center is to provide academic advising to new matriculated first year students in the following majors: Bio Molecular Science, Business & Technology Management, Chemical & Biological Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, and Undeclared.
The academic departments advise students in the following majors: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Integrated Ditigal Media, Liberal Studies, Technical and Professional Communication, and Math. After the first year, those students that are advised by the Advisement Center are assigned advisers in their respective major departments.
Students may make an appointment or drop in to see their adviser. Advisement sessions cover an array of topics including major requirements, university regulations, and life skills development. The AAC refers students to appropriate campus resources for additional support and guidance in an effort to address any university-related issues affecting them. In addition, academic advisers advocate for first year students with the offices of the Registrar, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and Admissions, as well as other university offices.
The center also directs the review of students’ progress each semester to determine academic standing. The academic advisers make decisions regarding the Dean’s List, probation and disqualification, and send notifications to the students and the respective academic offices and departments. Students are directed to meet regularly with their advisers to discuss academic progress and address questions concerning their academic standing.
