ACADEMIC SUPPORT PROGRAMS

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT CENTER

Understand and explore some of the many elements that make up a student's college experience, such as: academic advising, career and major opportunities, campus resources, tutoring support and campus services.

The transition to college can be an exciting, and yet, anxious time for both the student and his/her family. We hope this section helps to alleviate some of that anxiety.

Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)- a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. FERPA limits what student information faculty/staff can disclose to parents.

Link to FERPA FAQ's: such as, "If I'm a parent of a college student, do I have the right to see my child's education records, especially if I pay the bill?"
