Academic Advising is the only structured activity
on the campus in which all students have the opportunity for an
on-going, one-to-one interaction with a concerned representative of
the university.
During your first two regular semesters here at Southeastern, we
will work together to explore career and academic opportunities,
identify and attain realistic goals, and develop decision-making
skills leading to personal growth and independence.
Objectives through Academic Advising:
• Develop a relationship with your assigned Academic
Advisor through face-to-face meetings
• Identify roadblocks and plan strategies to overcome
them (time management, poor study skills, stress, balancing work
and school)
• Navigate the LEONet system and website successfully
(registration, holds, transcripts, calendars, GPA calculator)
• Identify and utilize campus resources (counseling,
disability services, tutoring, supplemental instruction)
• Select appropriate courses based on curriculum
requirements
• Get connected to the University (culture, sports,
organizations, KSLU Radio, study groups, peer mentoring)
As your Academic Advisor I will:
• Listen carefully to questions and concerns
• Provide information, resources, and referrals as needed
• Maintain confidentiality
• Help you create a plan to achieve your academic and
career goals
• Provide guidance through the career exploration process
• Approve course selection and remove advising holds
• Plan to meet with you during the semester as needed
