The Work of the Academic Success Center Faculty Fellows

The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides a centralized location for undergraduate, undeclared and general education advising needs, where all students can obtain assistance regarding graduation requirements, academic disqualification and reinstatement, remediation disqualification, major exploration, undeclared and pre-nursing advising, class registration, university policies and procedures, and general education petitions.

The four ASC Faculty Fellows work with the Faculty Director for Advising and Learning Cohorts (FDALC), faculty in academic departments and programs, and advising staff and peer leaders in the colleges and Academic Success Center to enhance advising services and student success. With office space in the ASC, the Faculty Fellows advise students, serve as liaisons between the ASC and academic programs, and provide support to learning cohort programs including the Structured Exploratory Emphasis (SEE) and General Education programs.
