At University College Advising, we believe that it is important
for you to know that academic advising is more than simply getting
registered for classes. It is a shared relationship between you and
your advisor and an essential part of your university experience.
You must actively participate in order for advising to work
effectively. If you have questions or need help with anything, the
UC advisors are available to assist you. Anytime you have a
question or concern, or if you just want feedback or ideas about
your academic or career plans, schedule an appointment to meet with
an advisor.
The mission of University College is to assist new, transfer
and transitioning students, through academic advising, to develop
and implement individual plans for achieving educational and life
goals.
Academic advisors are on hand
to:
• Help you determine preparatory course requirements for
admission to your major
• Assist undeclared students explore academic options
and identify a major
• Guide you through your University Graduation
Requirements
• Assist students in understanding the philosophy,
expectations, and goals of the General Education Requirements
• Explain how to generate and read a Degree Audit Report
(DARS)
• Help students examine ways to integrate General
Education and Bachelor's Degree requirements with major and career
plans.
• Interpret test scores for credit or placement (e.g.
AP, ACT, CLEP, Writing Placement Essay, etc.), and assist with
appropriate course selection.
• Explain University policies and procedures (e.g. add,
drop and withdrawal deadlines, academic renewal, course repeats,
credit/no credit, etc.)
• Help students make connections to other departments
and agencies on campus.
