What is the role of an academic advisor?
The principal function of the academic advisor is to assist
students in developing and attaining their educational goals.
Advisors interpret College policy and aid in the
students’ educational and personal development. The
advisors help to make sure that students fulfill the
College’s goals, and approve all registrations before
they will be accepted by the Office of the Registrar.
Freshmen, transfer students, international students, and
students expressing an interest in particular majors are assigned
to faculty who have a special interest in advising
them. After the first term, students may request an advisor of
their choice.
Questions concerning the advising program should be directed to
Dr. Stephen F. Coleman, McGraw Hall, room 106, (607) 735-1795.
