Student Advising and Support Services
The university provides a credentialed and course qualified academic advisor for each program of study. A student will be informed of their advisor at the time of admission; the student also can obtain this information at any time from Associate Dean Twila Lindsay. A student who contacts their advisor by any method will receive a response within a reasonable time.
Faculty hold office hours for students at designated times outside a course's regularly scheduled class hours or by appointment.
Faculty will promote interaction between students and faculty or among students through means such as in-class and online discussions, breakout sessions, group projects, and informal activities outside the classroom. All instructional courses for degree credit require a minimum of 15 contact hours for each semester credit hour and an expectation for additional assignments beyond scheduled instructional activities.
