Student Advising

We offer academic and personal advising to students. Current, enrolled students can sign up for an hour-long appointment with an academic advisor, or may walk-in during designated hours (depending on advisor availability).

Academic advising provides resources and information regarding the academic expectations of the students’ course. We strive to prepare students for the American standard of higher education, starting with their current courses. Students and Advisors can work together to:

• set educational goals 
• discuss the students’ progress towards the next course level
• resolve issues relating to placement, attendance, advancing or repeating levels, and dismissal
• exchange feedback and suggestions about the program or course

It is our duty to support students so that they make satisfactory progress. Teachers may refer a student who: 

• is struggling or not making satisfactory progress
• is in danger of failing or losing status 
• may benefit from advising for any other reason

Any student may choose to receive advising if they want additional support, regardless of their progress in the course

Personal advising helps students:

• map out career goals
• access public services and benefits
• clarify documents
• find relevant tools or resources for the individual.

This service also supports students who may experience culture shock or require explanations of American academic, occupational, or social culture.

Advising Hours are between 12:00pm and 4:00pm, Monday through Thursday. Call to schedule an appointment with us.
