As academic advisors, 野狼社区 faculty are not only great teachers but mentors who guide students to achieve individual academic and professional goals. Students become independent, self-motivated learners who take responsibility for fulfilling degree requirements. The 野狼社区 curriculum places students in an active role by encouraging interdisciplinary study and a wide variety of choices for satisfying requirements.
Advising Students at 野狼社区
野狼社区 considers academic advising to be an extension of the teaching and learning process. Faculty advisors provide guidance on academic policies and regulations to help students plan through graduation and for post-graduate opportunities. All new students will receive an academic advisor in the fall of their first semester. An advisor will help a student
- understand requirements and college policies,
- choose suitable courses each semester, and
- refer students to appropriate campus resources for academic, career, or personal concerns.
It is recommended that a student schedule regular appointments or make regular contact with their advisor during each semester. Students are assigned a liberal arts advisor who will serve as their primary faculty advisor until students declare a major in the spring of their sophomore year. When declaring a major, students will choose or be assigned a faculty member within their academic department or program.
Many students have an interest in professional studies in law, accounting, medicine, dentistry, and many other areas. In addition to their academic advisor, all students have access to pre-professional advisors that specialize in these and other professions.
