• All students are responsible to assume a proactive role in their educational planning.
• Academic advising will be available for every student on the Dixie State College campus.
• Students will leave advisement sessions more informed and with a stronger educational direction.
• Advisement encompasses academics, scholastic standards, advanced degrees, careers, and other lifelong options.
• Advisors will support students as they balance their college responsibilities and academic challenges.
• Advisors will receive continued training and professional development to better serve the student body.
