Academic Advisement
Academic Advisement, located in the Student Success Center (SSC), provides assistance in academic advisement for incoming students, students who have not declared a major, first year and transfer students, and students on probation or in academic recovery. Additionally, advisors at the Student Success Center provide supplemental advising support for any Northwest student needing assistance.
All first-year students are assigned a first-year advisor based on their major/discipline. The first-year advisor is available to assist students with their academic planning and transition to university life. The first year advisors are housed in academic buildings and work closely with faculty in the academic department/school to which they are assigned.
Academic Advisement also assists faculty in their roles as advisors by evaluating the advising system, strengthening the advising process, and by providing training on institutional policies and procedures. Any student seeking general advisement is welcome to visit the Student Success Center located on the second floor of B.D. Owens Library.
