The success of all students depends upon their involvement in the
learning and academic process. Academic advising is a vital part of this
process. Students can obtain advising services and information in the
following areas: Change of Major, Drop/Add, Course Equivalencies, Change
of Advisor and Withdrawal.
What do you need to know about Academic Advising:
- Students who have selected a specific
academic program are assigned to a faculty advisor in that program.
Faculty members are the core providers of effective academic advising.
- Students who are new or undecided are assigned
to a staff advisor/counselor.
When an undecided student selects an academic program, the student will
be reassigned to an advisor in that program. New students will be
assigned an advisor the first semester of enrollment.
- It is the responsibility of the student to
meet with his/her advisor at least once prior to each registration to plan
a course schedule for the next term. This academic advising session,
preferably scheduled during the Early Advising/Early Registration period,
assures the student that course selections fit career plans. Students who take advantage
of an early advising session also have
the opportunity to select the most
ideal course schedules.
- Members of the Advising, Counseling and
Articulation Staff also assist students, who plan to transfer to
other colleges and universities. These services
support the belief that the total growth of the student is beneficial to
both the student and Southwest Tennessee Community College.
- During Early Registration, advising at
both the Macon Cove and Union Avenue Campuses is done by appointment
ONLY. Continuing students should see their assigned academic advisor.
