Brunswick Community College takes pride in its
commitment to Academic Advising and conducts a
systematic and effective program. The focus of the
commitment lies in the great educative value of faculty
advisors helping students to set meaningful, self
directed life goals. Learning decision-making
skills needs to be facilitated by a knowledgeable and
caring faculty member. The College ensures that
the number of advisees assigned to faculty members is
reasonable and equitable. Students are assigned to
an advisor based on their selected program of study.
Advisement updates are held on campus prior to the fall
and spring semesters. |
