All new incoming full-time and part-time students are advised and registered with a Staff Advisor in the Learning Center once they are admitted to SUNY Sullivan. Students are given an Advisor in their chosen field of study. Advisors are listed on students’ schedules. Advisors have office hours listed on office doors.
Mission Statement
SUNY Sullivan Faculty Advisors choose to advise to connect with students and because of their desire to see them succeed. Students are assigned Faculty Advisors who teach in their programs of study so they can offer quality, comprehensive advisement. All programs are represented by at least one Faculty Advisor with Staff Advisors available to serve as back-up during winter and summer breaks. Advisors support students throughout their careers at SCCC by providing guidance on course selection and career choices, and referring to appropriate resources as needed.
Advising Information
Students must work collaboratively with their Advisor:
- Review your program of study (aka Track Sheet) every semester. Track sheets are available on the college website.
- Prepare questions about your program, career plans, plans for transfer, etc. before meeting with your advisor.
- If you are a transfer student, make sure your credits transfer in.
- If you choose to change your major/career choice go over this with your advisor before you register for classes.
Student information on Campus web consists of: current schedule, unofficial transcript, 3rd and 5th wk reports midterm and end of semester grades. Students can obtain passwords/ID#’s from their advisors. When advising/registration begins students are asked to make an appointment with their advisor. Financial information is available on the Campus web. When preparing for your next semester classes Advisors will have dates and times on office doors for students to signup. When registering for classes online students should discuss their schedules with their Advisor prior to registration. Students must follow the correct track sheet to stay on track for graduation.
