Academic Advising and Registration assistance

Each semester TRIO students will receive the assistance of an advisor in selecting courses and in meeting degree requirements. Actual registration is the responsibility of the student. 

TRIO advisors help students select courses that will both meet degree requirements and prepare the student to transfer to a bachelor's degree granting institution.  TRIO students will meet with their academic advisor and first discuss and then select courses that are consistent with degree requirements and are needed to prepare for transfer.  Students are expected to be actively engaged in the planning and selection process, rather than being a passive observer.
