Faculty Resources
The Academic Advisement Center (AAC) supports both students and faculty. The AAC staff answers questions and clarifies statements concerning academic policies, procedures, and programs. AAC staff members send warning notices to students when notified by faculty of concerns (excessive absences, poor grades, etc.). The Academic Advisement Center coordinates advisement functions and supports faculty in their role as advisors; an annual advisor development workshop series is offered.
