We know that embarking on the college experience can be a challenging one. And that’s why collaboration is key! First-year students will have mentors — academic advisors and other resources who will support and guide them to ensure you stay on track and are ready for the next academic steps.
Academic Advising
Academic advising is integral to the first-year experience. Through person-centered academic advising, students learn to become engaged members of the Manhattan College community, to think critically about responsibilities and expectations as students, and to prepare for lives of personal, academic and professional success.
Academic advising is a collaborative relationship between a student and an academic advisor or assistant dean. Through this collaboration, students receive guidance on academic program planning in relation to one’s personal and academic goals. Academic Advisors assist with course registration and preparing students for meeting with their Faculty Advisor. Located in their respective Deans’ Offices, they also serve as great resources to refer students to various offices and support services on campus.
Academic advisors understand the unique needs of first-year students. By the end of the first year, all new students will be equipped with the information and skills necessary to transition into their sophomore year. In addition to the academic advisors, first year students will meet their faculty advisor during the first semester of their first year.
The Manhattan College community works together to help you succeed. There are additional layers of advising which Manhattan College students may receive depending upon their affiliations at the institution. Student athletes, students enrolled in opportunity programs, and Veteran students receive supplemental advising during their time at Manhattan College. These supplemental advisors will be reaching out to students directly.
