VISION:
Academic Advising is an ongoing, intentional collaboration between students, faculty and staff that empowers each student to succeed.
MISSION:
Academic Advisors teach, guide and support students to develop and achieve academic, career and personal goals.
Academic Advisors understand your busy schedule and are able to meet with you remotely or in person
based on your preference during the following hours:Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Students are encouraged to schedule an advising appointment to discuss:
- Progress toward a degree
- Difficulties with current courses
- Adding or dropping a course
- How to plan for transferring to another college or university
- Graduation requirements
- School/life balance
In order to assist new students in successfully transitioning to college and to increase the likelihood of academic success and degree completion, SFCC offers a New Student Orientation (NSO) to familiarize students with programs and resources available at the college. New students are required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for classes. These services are designed to keep new students on track, enhance their student success and improve degree completion. For more information about this or upcoming NSO dates, please call 505-428-1270.
Academic advisors are located in the Student Affairs area to assist with undecided or exploratory students as well as embedded within the Academic schools.
