More Than Academic Planning

Sometimes college brings with it personal challenges that affect your studies. Your advisor can offer confidential support. They’re also ready to connect you with other resources when you need them.

• Referrals to social services and community resources.
• Guidance for students experiencing financial or family difficulties.

Whether you're a first-generation college student or returning to school after years away, your advisor will tailor their approach to meet your needs.

We offer specialized support for:

• First-year students adjusting to college life.
• Students on academic probation who need to improve their standing.
• Adult learners balancing multiple responsibilities.
• Students exploring different career paths.

Advisement is a shared responsibility between you and your advisor. Together, we'll make sure you get the most out of your education.

We're here to offer guidance, but your active participation is what allows you to level up.

You can expect:

• Regular check-ins to monitor your progress.
