Important Ingredient for Success: Academic Advising
Here are some tips concerning what to expect from your advisor AND what you
can do to get the most out of advising:
| What you can expect from your advisor |
How you can get the most out of advising |
| Your advisor should be available to meet personally
and regularly with you at least several hours during each semester |
You should learn to use the Eastern Arizona
Catalog and appropriate class schedules available through the EAC internet
Web Site or in hard copy. |
| Your advisor should inform you of courses,
programs and degree requirements that affect your academic progress at Eastern
Arizona College |
You should become acquainted with the graduation
and degree requirements that affect your academic program at Eastern Arizona
College, and openly talk about them with your advisor |
| If you are a transfer student, your advisor
should help you obtain appropriate information from the transfer university
of your choice |
You should make periodic appointments with
your advisor on a regular or as-needed basis |
| Your advisor should maintain accurate and open
academic advising records to aid you in charting your academic career |
You should provide your advisor with accurate
and timely information as to your academic progress or changes in your program |
| Your advisor should make appropriate referrals
to campus or community resources that will provide information or help,
which is beyond her or his scope of expertise |
You should realize that you are ultimately
responsible for the choices you make and that your rate of academic progress
is dependent upon your actions, not those of your academic advisor |
Orientation to Student Services
If you are struggling and need some help, or if you are doing well and want
to do better, we strongly recommend a one credit class that meets once a week
for the semester called "Orientation to Student Success." You can enroll in a
section taught by an instructor in your area of academic interest and learn
some basic study skills, develop good academic planning techniques, hear about
some interesting activities and programs provided by Student Life, find out
about scholarship and financial aid assistance and get some really useful information
about how to use the library for your maximum benefit. Look for the course,
CSL109, Orientation to Student Success, in the class schedule.
The Eastern Arizona College Counseling Department supports advisors by:
- Assisting students in determining who their advisor is and
making sure they know how to contact their adviser
- Assisting advisors with obtaining timely and accurate information
pertinent to advising and their advising area
- Making available within the Counseling Department the documents
and information needed by students seeking to transfer
