Center for Academic Success & Enrichment

Advising & Registration

Academic Advising at 麻豆高清 is designed to assist students in making academic choices for majors, minors or course selection, as well as to assist in making other important decisions that will impact the quality and meaningfulness of your college experience.

Success Coaches provide academic advising in the first and second year (students with 0-45 earned credit hours) and Faculty Mentors provide academic advising for courses taken in the junior and senior year (students with 46+ earned hours). Students can always touch base with their Success Coach if assistance. Students in the School of Graduate, Professional and Continuing Education (SGPCE) can click here for more information about advising in SGPCE.
