Did you know Alexander College offers Academic Advising services so students can confidently navigate their academic journey? Here are five reasons why you should use Academic Advising services:
Want to explore your academic interests but you’re unsure how that will affect your timeline for graduation? Talk to an Academic Advisor and they can help you make a personalized study plan that will fulfill your graduation requirements while ensuring you can choose some courses in subjects that interest you.
Who knows? Maybe you’ll discover a passion you didn’t know you had! If you do, an Academic Advisor will be more than happy help you make a plan to transition into a new program concentration.
‘What’s next?’ is a common question for many students ask themselves at one point or another on their academic journey.
Academic Advisors can help you explore what is available to you with your current academic standing and help you set goals if you are close to fulfilling requirements for a university you may be interested in.
As a post-secondary student, the term GPA may come up a lot when it comes to figuring out your next steps, especially if you want to transfer to a university. Here are some terms you may have heard:
If you need help figuring out all these numbers, Academic Advisors can teach you how to calculate your GPA, CGPA, and Program GPA!
One major advantage of an associate degree is being able to easily transfer to universities in BC or Canada through our University Transfer Program.
Academic Advisors can help you discover which universities have programs that align with your interests and help you work towards transferring to that university!
Most importantly, Academic Advisors are also people who have gone through post-secondary. They understand the challenges of figuring out which courses to take or feeling unsure about what the future holds.
Academic Advisors are more than willing to answer any questions you may have and help you succeed at Alexander College.
For Sunny Dhanjal, one of our Academic Advisors, comfort is the main thing and one way to become comfortable with using Academic Advising services is to get to know the Academic Advisors, either by visiting Academic Advising or reading about their stories on our school blog.
Even if you’re not sure what to ask, Academic Advisor Amanpreet Kaur invites students to just come in and introduce themselves!
Academic Advising appointments are available both in-person or online through Zoom. You can book an appointment through WC Online. For quick questions, you can always find an Academic Advisor at the front desk area, desk E2, at Alexander College’s Burnaby campus.
