Academic Advising and Retention

Academic Faculty Advisor: Each student is assigned a faculty advisor who provides counsel concerning course selections and career paths within particular majors. Students are encouraged to visit their advisors throughout the year, and planning sessions are designated each semester during registration and preregistration.

Professional Staff Advisor: In addition to each student being assigned an Academic Faculty Advisor, the Office of Student Affairs provides full-time professional Academic Staff Advisors who assist and support Faculty Advisors. These advisors help those student who benefit from extensive and frequent advising sessions, to include comprehensive academic and graduation plans and academic coaching.

Company Academic Advisor: Each cadet company has a specially chosen member of the faculty or staff whose responsibility is the academic well-being of all cadets in the company. These advisors work closely with the tactical officer and the cadet chain-of- command to ensure that academic and military requirements are compatible and that cadets take advantage of academic resources available to them.
