ACADEMIC ADVISORS/THE STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER

The Student Success Center links you up with Academic Advising. Academic Advisement is a supportive relationship between you and an advisor which helps you fulfill your academic potential. It is our philosophy that students are more likely to succeed in school when they address transitional concerns early and know where to go to get help.

Advisement begins from the first moment you register as an incoming student and continues until your graduation. Using the resources of an Academic Advisor will help you to reach your academic goals. Academic Advisors connect you with resources on and off campus that can facilitate important academic decisions. We will help you select classes, review completed and outstanding assignments, develop academic and life plans, clarify personal goals, and link you up with the help you need. Together, we will review the courses you need to meet your major requirements.

Advisors help you get the most from you experience at The Art Institute of New York City! Services include; access to peer mentoring, resume writing, financial planning, time management, organization skills, study plans, and more. The Student Success Center is located on the 7th floor of Beach St. Drop in, and let us help you on your road to success!
