Academic Advising
The MAPS Center provides comprehensive academic guidance. Academic advisors can assist students in all aspects of starting an academic curriculum program at the College.
After college placement has been determined and orientation has been completed, first-semester students meet with an academic advisor to discuss academic and career goals and to select first-semester courses. The selection of a major or program of study is an important decision, and academic advisors offer the information and support needed for students to select the right major.
First semester enrollment advising is available by appointment or walk-in. Academic Advisors are in the MAPS Center in the McGee Building. To make an appointment, call (252) 222-6236.
Faculty Office Hours
All faculty have office hours, which are times set aside just to meet with students outside of class. Consult your syllabus to determine your instructor’s office hours and plan to meet during that time. Many times, concerns about the class or your grades—or additional opportunities to learn—can be remedied with a meeting during office hours.
