Student Advising & Tutoring
Academic advising is primarily the responsibility of the faculty and is an on-going process throughout the student’s academic enrollment. Academic advising will be available for students when they need or wish it rather than merely when the College requires it. This means that advising opportunities shall be available to students throughout the academic year at regular, reasonable intervals.
Academic advising will take place during weeks 10 and 11 each semester and is available from District Counselors and Faculty. Students with more than thirty hours should contact the chairperson of their major department to see who their advisor is to review status sheets and career plans. See OLC website www.olc.edu under the academic departments for contact information. Faculty members assigned to advisees must make every effort to contact students with more than 91 hours (i.e. in person, phone or email) in order to deliver accurate class scheduling to meet graduation requirements. A plan of study will be made with the students and a copy placed in the student’s official file at the student’s “Home Center” to ensure communication between faculty and district staff.
Tutoring in English and Math is provided by Student Support Services and Foundational Studies and should be requested at the District Center by any student having problems meeting course requirements. Help with study skills can also be requested. A college prep course, CoSu 103, is now part of our CORE requirements and must be taken within the first two semesters.
