The duties of the Academic Advisor are to:
·
Counsel students on their program and other general academic matters

Counsel students with academic issues (e.g. meeting course requirements)
·
Direct students with personal problems to the appropriate agency

Advise and assist students who require program modifications

Attend Student Affairs Committee meetings which meets once per term or
on an ad-hoc basis
The academic advisor may arrange group meetings on an ‘as

and planned with the students. Students wanting to meet with the
Academic Advisor on an individual basis must bring their Professional

It is a student’s responsibility to check program credits and ensure

circumstances should students assume that everything is being done for
them (see
