Our Services
The Academic Advising Center (AAC)
is the central coordinating service for undergraduate academic
advising activities
for
all new and
currently
enrolled students and faculty. It is the first formal academic
contact on campus for most new undergraduate students.
Advisors in the center
assist students as they evaluate academic goals and objectives,
design programs and select major and/or minor choices.
The
AAC coordinates advising training for new faculty and
provides a resource to faculty advisors to answer general
advising questions. The center also coordinates and administers
the Second Bachelor degree program, the Individualized Studies
program and the Three-Year Accelerated Baccalaureate degree
program.
Retention support includes the following:
liaison for the FIG (First-Year Interest Groups) program;
administration of the PASS (Promote Academic Survival and
Success) program; assistance to students in the Summer
Incentive
program (SIP); and assistance to students on academic probation.
Academic Actions involve
the central administration and enforcement of the academic
probation, dismissal, and readmission policies established
by the Academic Standards committee and the University.
The
AAC provides the following academic services:
(1) CLEP (College Level Examination Program) testing,
(2) Pass/Fail grade options,
(3) administrative and retroactive withdrawal requests,
(4) general education requirement waivers for English and
mathematics,
(5)
high school science
verification, and
(6) application of transfer credit to the general education
requirements.
