Academic advisors are committed to providing quality services and programs in conjunction with students, faculty/staff, and the community. Academic advisors are dedicated to facilitating success in the following areas:

• Educational Planning
• Career Exploration
• Social and Life Transition Advising

Educational Planning

Academic advisors collaborate with students to create academic plans that reflect their personal, academic, and career goals.  Academic success at SVCC relies heavily on students working closely with their assigned academic advisor.

Career Exploration

Career information is provided in a variety of modes including individual sessions, online resources/tools, and career workshops. Students who understand and realize their career goals have been known to have higher completion rates; therefore, career exploration is considered a major component of the College's retention effort.

Social and Life Transition Advising

Academic advisors offer individual appointments to help students deal with issues that are important to their overall well-being. Various changes and pressures throughout a student's educational career can contribute to considerable stress, and at times, crisis.  When appropriate, academic advisors may refer students to other mental health professionals and community resources when in the best interest of the student.
