Advising

Academic Advising includes students meeting with an advisor one-on-one, going over placement test results, transfer credits, selection or declaration of major, degree requirements, how to use the college catalog and schedule booklet, completion of the registration form, assignment of a faculty advisor, and preparing students for the registration process in subsequent semesters.

The Academic Advising Center is located in A102. Two full time academic advisors are available to all students on a walk-in basis. Primarily new, transfer, readmit and non-degree seeking students are the focus. However, all students are welcome to the Center for advising questions, changes to major or faculty advisor, and completion of necessary paperwork such as the Declaration of Major form.

In addition, student advising is conducted in the Counseling Center (A108) and the Academic Support Center (B120) when faculty advisors are not available. Continuing students are encouraged to see their faculty advisor prior to the end of each fall and spring semester. Students seeking advising in the summer months can go to A102, A108, or B120 for advising since most full time faculty are not available.

Students seeking information on transferability of coursework and articulation agreements with the four state universities and private colleges in the state of Connecticut can utilize the services of the Transfer Counselor in the Counseling Center (A108).

Successful students are those who plan. Planning requires that students are clear on the requirements of their specific degree, what their short and long term goals are, and the knowledge of the student resources available on campus. Students are encouraged to seek advising prior to registration. The Academic Advising Center, the Counseling Center, and the Academic Support Center are excellent resources for all students to utilize to enhance their success.
