Advising services have transitioned to the Pathway Model, which means students are now meeting with advisors assigned to their specific academic Pathways. As a result, wait times may vary depending on your Pathway.

Mission

The ACT Center provides students with the knowledge they need to identify educational goals, develop an appropriate educational plan, and monitor progress toward achieving those goals. The ACT Center believes that:

  • Student/faculty interaction is an important factor in student success, and educational advising provides for such interaction.
  • The college is responsible for providing varied approaches to advising that serve the diverse student population.
  • The individual student is ultimately responsible for their educational and life decisions.
