SECTION VI
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic advising of students in the
College of Education and Human Development is considered as part
of faculty duties and responsibilities. Faculty act as advisors,
and in so doing, serve as consultants to students in the
preparation of their schedules. Faculty advisors approve student
class schedules making sure that the students schedule the
prescribed courses in the proper order and meet the necessary
prerequisites for enrollment in the courses.
In serving as academic advisors, it is
expected that faculty members will be fully informed as to all
University as well as College of Education and Human Development
requirements for securing a degree. Inaccurate advising may
involve institutional liability and is certainly detrimental to
the academic progress of the student.
Beginning freshmen who have declared a
major in teacher education or in one of the non teacher education
majors offered in the Department of Counseling and Human
Development are enrolled in the College of Education and Human
Development. These freshman students are advised by a “senior
advisor” in the Center for Student Excellence for the first 30
hours earned at Southeastern. After the first 30 hours earned,
these student are then advised by faculty advisors from the
department of the student’s intended major/option. During the
periods of early registration and registration, faculty advisors
are expected to schedule appointments with or advise online each
of their advisees to plan the next semester’s schedule of academic
work. Faculty should have contact with their advisees at least
once each semester to assist the advisees in planning their
academic programs. Faculty members should have office hours and
other appropriate times to meet students’ advising needs.
The College of Education and Human
Development, based upon state regulations, internal policies and
procedures, and accreditation guidelines, has a very rigorous set
of admission and retention requirements for teacher education
majors. Faculty advisors of teacher education majors in the
College of Education and Human Development should be thoroughly
familiar with the requirements of the Selective Admission and
Retention in Teacher Education (SARTE) policies. Faculty advisors
are responsible for interpreting and applying in their work with
advisees the policies and principles of SARTE.
