What is Academic Advising?
Academic advising is the process of assisting students in becoming responsible consumers of their own education. This involves teaching students how to make viable academic decisions, through a process in which the advisor facilitates the setting of academic goals, connection to relevant information and services, and decision-making consistent with the advisee鈥檚 interests, goals, abilities, and degree requirements. Advising is personalized, considering each student鈥檚 individual needs, which may include referrals to appropriate services.
Academic Advisors can answer questions about:听
- Courses at Barton, online or face-to-face
- Prerequisites for courses and General Education Requirements
- Certificates and/or听degrees offered at Barton
- Selecting a major course of study
- Graduation requirements
Students who identify themselves as degree or certificate-seeking are assigned an Advisor.听Please Note: you will be notified of your Advisor assignment through your Cougars email address.
