Academic Advising

Advising

The Office of Academic Adivinsg supports students and their academic success, allowing students to meet their academic, personal, and professional goals. Academic advisors serve as a primary point of contact for students, and work in collaboration with faculty, campus partners, and other resources to support students' academic success. 

Each student at St. Catherine's is assigned an academic advisor and/or faculty advisor. Advisors help students clarify educational objectives, plan suitable courses of study, use available resources, explore opportunities for learning, and address academic problems that may arise.

Associate Degree Programs

Upon admission to the University, students in associate degree programs are assigned an academic advisor. After beginning the professional sequence of courses, students are assigned a faculty advisor from within their area of study. To ensure sound academic planning, students are required to discuss with and obtain the support of their academic advisor before they can register for courses each term. Throughout their professional study, students are further encouraged to develop an ongoing relationship with their advisor and to communicate with their advisor regarding any concerns or difficulties that might have an impact on their academic success.

Baccalaureate Programs 

Students in baccalaureate programs are assigned an advisor at the time they enroll. All students are required to discuss their academic program with their advisor each term prior to registration.
