Responsibilities of the Student Advisee
Effective advisement requires a partnership between the advisor and the
student.
Introduction
The College recognizes that academic advising is crucial to student success.
Ideally, the academic advisor and the student advisee develop a
collaborative relationship based on a sharing of responsibilities. The goal
of the relationship is to guide the student toward accepting responsibility
for his/her own learning and academic decision-making.
Through the academic advising process, the advisor supports
and nurtures the advisee in developing skills necessary for successfully
selecting and navigating an academic program. The advisee exhibits a
commitment to becoming an active participant in his/her career
decision-making process by preparing for each session with his/her advisor,
and planning and accepting responsibility for his/her program completion.
With this commitment on the part of all concerned, an
exciting partnership will grow and thrive, thus creating a community of
learners whose mission is to improve life through learning.
Your role in the advising process is:
1. To find out the name of your advisor.

open registration, schedule adjustments, schedule for fee payment, deadline

timely manner.
4. To prepare for and keep appointments.

personal life that may affect your class work.

schedule.

referrals to resources.
