Academic Advising
Academic advising is a collaborative educational process between you and your advisor designed to support your academic success.
Shared responsibility is the basis for the advisor-advisee relationship. As a student, you are ultimately responsible for the choices you make in college. However, BSC realizes that, in order to make informed choices, students need mentoring and advice from academic advisors and other professional staff in the BSC community. Your academic advisor is your primary source regarding academic issues, programs and opportunities.
A relationship with an academic advisor provides you the opportunity to:
