Academic Advising

Academic Advisors

The core of academic life at Lakeland is the relationship between its faculty and its students. While rules and policies are necessary, they are never an effective substitute for the personal interaction between an inquisitive learner and a willing teacher. Lakeland University strongly encourages positive and productive relationships between students and faculty, both in and out of the classroom.

At Lakeland, traditional on-campus undergraduate students are advised by professional advisors and transition to faculty members of their major. Lakeland University center/online undergraduate and graduate students work with their professional academic advisor. These faculty and professional advising staff members help students adjust to the rigor of college academics, master basic rules and procedures and navigate enrollment to degree completion.  While students are expected to be responsible for their own academic decisions and curricular requirements, they will find that the one sure source throughout their Lakeland academic careers of friendly concern, supportive encouragement, and accurate academic advice is their professional, faculty or center academic advisor.
