Academic Advising and Student Responsibility
Academic Advising is an essential process in the college setting. Upon entering York College every matriculated student is assigned an academic advisor who, through experience, professional background and example, is qualified to assist the student in planning the coursework of the program of study, in developing strategies for academic success, and in providing guidance and information in preparation for the student's career and life goals.Academic advisors are available to meet with their advisees during their regularly scheduled office hours when the college is in session in the fall and spring semesters or by appointment at other times. In addition, other academic support services are offered through the offices of Academic Affairs, Academic Advising, the Registrar, Records, the Campbell Hall Advising Center, the Adult Learner Center, Career and Counseling Services, and the Learning Resource Center.
While academic advising assists students in their academic planning, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to meet the academic requirements for graduation. Each student is expected to meet regularly with his or her advisor to discuss the development and implementation of a plan of short and long-term academic goals. The final responsibility in meeting graduation requirements, however, rests with the student.
Please read the responsibilities of the advisee and the academic advisor to ensure clarity of each one's role.
