The Academic Advisement Center (AAC) supports both students and faculty. Our services include:
- answering questions and clarifying statements concerning academic policies, procedures, and programs.
- sending warning notices to students when notified by faculty of concerns (excessive absences, poor grades, etc.).
- coordinating advisement functions and supporting faculty in their role as advisors; an annual advisor development workshop series is offered.
