If granted admission to the Counseling Program, you will be assigned an academic advisor. This individual will assist you with your academic and professional goals and growth (e.g. course selection and preparation for advancement through the program).
Academic Advisors are charged with the responsibility of communicating with you at least once each term in which you are enrolled, but it is ultimately your responsibility to keep your advisors informed of any changes in your student record information or circumstances that may prohibit you from staying on track with the required course work.
Academic advisors, though likely licensed counselors, are not ethically permitted to function as the students’ personal counselor. Students who feel they may benefit from professional counseling may ask any faculty member in the Counseling Program for a referral.
