Academic Advising Center

Return to: Interdepartmental Programs

Director: Harold Alexander, M.S.E.

The mission of the Academic Advising Center (AAC) is to provide students with academic advising, support and pertinent information. The AAC also makes referrals to other offices on campus as appropriate, including Career Center, Counseling Center, Academic Resource Center, Financial Aid Services and all academic departments. The AAC coordinates advising programs for students who are General Studies majors and for students who have not yet declared a major.

The AAC coordinates an “Early Alert!” system — designed to identify students who are experiencing academic challenges early in the semester — and then offers the necessary support and referrals to help students get back on track. In addition, the AAC works closely with some students who are on academic probation and/or financial aid suspension, in most cases implementing an action plan aimed at helping students regain acceptable academic standing.
