ACADEMIC ADVISING

Overview

LDS Business College provides a systematic program of academic advising. The mission of this program is to ensure that all students attending LDS Business College are:
  • Informed regarding College and program policies and procedures
  • Assisted in planning career goals and selecting appropriate educational programs to achieve those goals
  • Directed to campus services and resources designed to provide regular contact and support, and
  • Tracked from entry through completion of their educational programs.
The academic advising process is divided into two functions: preparatory advising and academic program advising. Preparatory advising occurs at the student service level and includes information relative to admissions, college orientation, college policies and procedures, career counseling, and placement testing through the Learning Assistance Lab. Academic program advising occurs with an academic adviser with backup provided by student services. Based upon the educational program declared while registering for the first semester, students are assigned to an academic adviser. They provide students with academic advising departmental graduation plans that guide them in selecting and sequencing their courses and tracking their progress from entry to graduation. Advisers also advise students concerning special resources, challenge exams, transfer issues, career decisions relative to their current academic program, and special resources designed to provide support through completion of their educational program. Students are encouraged to meet with their academic adviser each semester as necessary to ensure they complete their program in a timely manner.

CHOOSING A MAJOR & CAREER PATH


“You can get everything you hope for—and more—if you take personal responsibility for the design and construction of your education. The key is to be your own ‘general contractor’, the one who puts all of the pieces of a higher education together according to a careful personal plan.” (Major Decisions, H.J. Eyring, 2010 )
