Academic Advising

Guilford College Advising Mission Statement:

To guide and empower students to use critical and creative thinking as they explore academic areas of interest while developing and pursuing their life goals.

 

Academic Advising at Guilford is far more than the two words suggest.  Here at Guilford, we take to heart our responsibility to guide students through not only academic choices, but life choices as well.  As students decide on a major(s), they chose an advisor within that major(s) who will assist not only with course selection, but independent studies, graduation school preparation, internship selection, and/or life after graduation.

The web site is broken down into three sections.  The student section offers links to sites designed to help students be successful.  From Making the Most of College, to the GPA Calculator, to registration information, the student site is packed with mostly everything a student needs to know about being a good advisee and student.

Parents will make use of their section in understanding academic opportunities and support as well as the details regarding academic standing. 

The faculty/staff section contains information that instructors and faculty advisors will find useful including the Advisor Handbook and links to aide in the advising, registration, and academic success of students.  Faculty will also find information here on the particulars of teaching, grading, submitting grades, academic integrity, and other pertinent registration issues.  Folks who mentor students will find the mentoring section helpful with tons of links and pdfs targeting specific student issues.
