At Cottey College, academic advising assists each student in the developmental process of clarifying and achieving their educational goals. Each student is assigned a full-time faculty member as an academic advisor.
It is the responsibility of the student to work closely with the academic advisor throughout the advising process. The more clearly students can articulate their vision and goals, the more productive the relationship will be. Together the advisor and student devise a balanced academic program. The advisor reviews all registration decisions, including changes made after the beginning of a semester. After consultation with their advisor, it is the student’s responsibility to choose and implement their academic program. In addition to aiding in the selection of courses, the advisor reviews the advisee’s academic progress and may suggest major, transfer, and/or career options. Upon request, the advisor may refer the student to other resources on and off campus.
