Academic Advising & Tutoring
Academic advising is available to students throughout the student’s course of study, and is confidential and impartial. Students seeking academic advising should schedule an appointment with a faculty member or Academic Support Advisor outside of regular class time.
In addition, students are provided the opportunity to participate in one-on-one, group, student-to-student, faculty-led, and/or online tutoring sessions. Students are able to participate in tutoring sessions throughout their education and are encouraged to seek assistance from faculty on a regular basis.
Students seeking counseling services should speak with the Campus Executive Director or Academic Support Advisor for appropriate referrals to counseling services and community service organizations.
Career Services
The College aids alumni in finding employment by assisting with resume preparation, helping with development of interviewing skills, and identifying appropriate job leads. Through career development, including professionalism, motivation, and the maintenance of ethical standards, students and alumni are empowered with the skills necessary to foster a successful and ongoing career.
Obtaining employment is ultimately the responsibility of the alumni. Alumni are highly encouraged to pursue their own independent employment opportunities. Recent alumni who have yet to obtain employment in their field of study should contact the College about available job openings in their community.
Pursuant to accreditation requirements, the College will confirm employment of alumni by contacting both the employer and alumni. The College cannot guarantee employment or salary.
