Explanation of ACC’s Advising Model

Alamance Community College uses a faculty-driven advising model. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor within their desired program who will work with the student throughout their academic journey to help them plan, pursue and achieve their academic and career goals. By assigning students to a faculty advisor who specializes in their program, the students have access to an “expert” in the program who can assist them as they make decisions throughout their academic journey. Students are expected to reach out and make contact with their advisors each semester. Because faculty members advise students within their program of study, the assigned advisor will change if a student changes their program of study. Students should use their Watermark or Self Service account to see which faculty member is assigned as their advisor.
