The Advisement Center is located on campus in the Student Union area. The Center is open daily from 8 am - 5 pm with faculty advisors working on rotating one hour shifts daily between 9 am - 3 pm. Advisors are available at other times by appointment.

Students enrolled on campus in more than six hours are assigned an advisor associated with their major. Students have the option of talking with the on-duty advisor or making an appointment with their assigned advisor during their scheduled advising time.

Because each student is unique, advisors make recommendations based upon individual student transcripts. Advisors analyze transcripts and assist students in choosing courses that support their life and career goals.
