Academic Advising and Transfer Centers combine
|Earlier this semester the Academic Advising Center, which assists students with declaring a major and registering for classes, combined with the Transfer Center to form one organization.
The Academic Advising & Transfer Center (ATC) is now one academic unit housed within Student Academic Affairs, Advising & Retention.
“[We] expanded the number of people who can service students,” said Virginia Lewis, assistant dean for Student Academic Affairs, Advising, & Retention.
