The principal function of the academic advisor is to assist students in developing and attaining their educational goals. Advisors interpret College policy and aid in the students’ educational and personal development. The advisors help to make sure that students fulfill the College’s goals, and approve all registrations before they will be accepted by the Office of the Registrar.

Freshmen, transfer students, international students, and students expressing an interest in particular majors are assigned to faculty who have a special interest in advising
them. After the first term, students may request an advisor of their choice.

Questions concerning the advising program should be directed to Dr. Stephen F. Coleman, McGraw Hall, room 106, (607) 735-1795.
