Each student is assigned a faculty advisor upon admission to the Community Counseling or School Counseling program. The role and function of the faculty advisor is to sustain a working relationship with a student (advisee) through the duration of the student's plan of study. The goal of the relationship is the successful completion of the program by the advisee. The advising process entails the following procedures:
· A group orientation meeting for new students will be held during the early part of the Fall semester. The prospectus, policies and procedures, and the expectations of the student and faculty will be discussed. ALL NEW STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND.
· The advisee is responsible for scheduling a meeting with his/her faculty advisor early in the first semester of enrollment to plan the student's course of study. Concerns related to academic and personal adjustment may be discussed at this time. THE WRITTEN PROSPECTUS IS NORMALLY FILED AFTER THIS MEETING.
· In subsequent semesters, regular meetings with one's faculty advisor are recommended to determine needs, suggest improvements, and develop clinical experience possibilities. It is the responsibility of the advisee to maintain regular contact with his/her faculty advisor.
· There is a faculty meeting during the Fall term in which faculty review the progress of all students in the program. Following the meeting, students who, in the view of the faculty, are having difficulty are informed of the concerns.
