We guide students toward graduation while making the most of their educational experience. Our academic advisors are committed to fostering strong academic standards while offering academic support and guidance to all students.

The Office also implements the administrative processes surrounding Personal/Medical Leaves of Absence on behalf of the Commitee on Academic Standing.

Advisors are also involved in many of the faculty's academic processes and committees and offer assistance in developing and implementing academic policies, curricular goals, and advising resources.
