Advising

Our Advising Mission Statement

The advising system at South Plains College is a continuous process designed to foster the development of the student’s successful educational plan compatible with the unique life goals of the individual student.  By practicing a holistic, proactive approach, South Plains College advising creates a student-centered environment from which students emerge as independent life long learners. 

Goals of the advising system at South Plains College are to:

• Guide in the selection of courses and preparation of an individualized success plan, including degree worksheets and TSI  information that correlates with life goals.
• Increase awareness of institutional resources and make referrals to appropriate support services.
• Clarify the student’s responsibility in his/her academic success, including academic regulations, institutional procedures, and policies.
• Encourage educational and career exploration and goal setting.
• Create an environment that is caring, supportive and accessible.
• Assist students in exploration, clarification, communication and implementation of realistic choices.
• Offer ongoing training and professional development activities for all involved in advising.
• Provide regular, formal evaluation of advising practices and make adjustments based on evaluation recommendations.
