Advising & Assessment

The Office of Academic Advising and Assessment at both campuses offers new and continuing undergraduate students help with course selection and program planning. Professional advisors are available year-round on an appointment basis to answer questions and assist students. Students are encouraged to seek advising as early as possible each semester in order to ensure their choice of classes and times. The week before classes begin during January and August, students are seen on a walk-in basis in order to serve students as effectively as possible.
