STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES
The student personnel program provides an organized administration of educational
services designed to support the instructional program. These services include
admissions and records, relations with schools, counseling, testing, student
activities, housing, foreign student assistance, financial aids, placement services, and
student health. The program also provides students with nonclassroom experiences
which are primarily of an educational nature, such as general orientation to the
college, cultural enrichment, and tutorial projects. The program and individual
services are described in more detail in the following sections or elsewhere in this
catalog.
ADVISING
Admissions Advising. The Admissions Office provides counseling to assist students
in making application, in understanding admission requirements, and in
utilizing the services of the college during the admissions process. Problems concerning
evaluation of previous academic records should be directed to the-Director
of Admissions and Records.
Academic Advising. Each student is assigned to a faculty adviser who is a
member of the academic department of the student's chosen field. The student
uncertain of his choice of an academic major is assigned to a general adviser until
a definite goal is chosen. A faculty adviser assists a student in planning his program
of classes and in planning for the achievement of his long-range educational goals.
The student, however, is expected to assume final responsibility for meeting all
specific degree and/or credential requirements. The academic advising program
is coordinated and serviced through the Counseling Center.

psychologists whose services are available, without charge, to all students desiring

and testing are designed to help students understand and resolve their academic
problems.

of their unique interests and aptitudes and determining their vocational goals.
Psychological and vocational tests are used as needed. A library of vocational information
is provided; also, each academic department provides vocational advising
pertinent to its field.
Personal Counseling. Counselors and psychologists help students who are concerned
about personal matters. The emphasis is upon the student's personal growth
and development.
Group Counseling. The Student Counseling Center provides opportunities to
enter groups of from 8 to 12 students sharing the desire to grow and develop in
self-awareness and sensitivity to other people's needs and feelings, and to find
meaning and relevance for themselves in their relationship to others.
