We care about your success as a student and offer an array of services to help you reach your goals. Every effort is made to know students and to meet your needs individually.  If you need assistance, let us know.  We’re always happy to help!

Academic advising is available to all students. Students are assigned an academic advisor who will help you with your educational plan and registering for courses. Advisors may also help students with decisions about career goals or further education.
