An advising overview is available on the school’s web site. Our Student Services Team, including our Student Services Coordinator and our Online Student Advisor, provides support with administrative and procedural advisement, resources, and outreach. Faculty Content Specialists are available to consult with any student regarding focused questions related to course selection and career path. Advising FAQs are also maintained to provide accurate and timely information.
