Academic Support

Academic Support Counselors (ASC) work with students from orientation to graduation to enhance their academic performance, promote excellence and achieve their educational goals. Students can meet one-on-one with an ASC and expect to have a judgment-free and confidential conversation to help identify challenges and explore strategies for success.

• You’re having trouble managing your time
• Falling behind in your coursework

• Discuss degree programs (majors & minors)
• Questions about courses, major changes, and progression toward graduation
