Who Helps Students

Advising: Students should see the academic administrator or their advisors for curricular matters, and the academic administrator for procedural issues, assistance with forms, or course authorizations.

Problems between a student and private teacher: Students are asked to talk to the instructor first, if possible. If the problem is not resolved, the student should talk to the area coordinator or the associate director for guidance. Faculty should speak with the student first, if possible, and then with the associate director. 

Course-related problems: students are asked to talk to the instructor first, then the director. Faculty should speak to the student having problems, if possible) and then the student’s advisor and director.

Personal problems: Counseling and Psychological Services (part of the Health and Wellness Center); Dean of Students; campus ministries offer services for faculty, staff, and students.

Final Audits: the academic administrator monitors final audits for students.
