How are Advisors Assigned to Students?

Advisors are assigned to matriculated students by the Office of Student Records. A matriculated student is someone who has been accepted for admission to the College and is pursuing courses toward a degree or certificate.

• Incoming students who are accepted directly into their program of choice are assigned advisors from their program.
• Incoming students, who lack pre-requisites for the program they wish to enter at a later date and/or want to take courses to lighten the load once in the program, are assigned advisors from their program of intent, with the exception of students with intent for the nursing degree program.
• Students with intent for the nursing degree program are assigned advisors from the Liberal Arts/General Studies faculty.
• Incoming students who need to show academic maturity, those students who need to take initial pre-requisites prior to required courses and those students who are unsure of their immediate academic goals are advised by faculty from Liberal Arts/General Studies.
• Non- matriculated students are not assigned an advisor.
