Academic Advising
Academic Advising assists students in their personal and academic development as they prepare professionally to creatively serve their world. Academic Advisors meet students where they are and support them in their collegiate journey through advising, mentoring, and modeling the integration of faith and learning. The staff recognizes that there is a critical relationship existing between academic advising and retention and is committed to placing an emphasis on promoting academic engagement, degree program completion, community involvement, leadership and success through effective student learning outcomes. This comprehensive plan focuses on the development, support, retention and graduation of students while assisting them towards the achievement of spiritual, life, academic, professional/vocational or ministry-orientated goals. The Office of Academic Advising provides various levels of support services to all extension site, regional campus, blended evening, and online students. For undergraduate distance education students, the Academic Advising Office provides oversight for advisors that are provided through The Learning House (TLH). Graduate distance education students are not supported by the Academic Advisor Office or TLH. Instead, these students are supported by the graduate program coordinators. Students at off-campus instructional sites are supported by the Office of Academic Advising.
Academic Center for Enrichment (ACE)
The Academic Center for Enrichment (ACE) is a staff-directed learning center that serves administrators, faculty, staff, and students of Southeastern University (i.e. traditional, extension site, evening/weekend, online, and graduate). ACE offers peer-facilitators who tutor students in subject areas across the curriculum. In addition, for students that are not local to the Lakeland campus, ACE offers online tutoring, multiple forms of distance support (e.g. email, phone, screen sharing, and etc.), and posts center resources online. Students that are local to the Lakeland campus may also use the center’s facilities which offers printing, a computer lab, study space, and additional tutoring services. The goal of the Academic Center for Enrichment is to provide an encouraging environment and services that are conducive to student learning. This goal includes establishing relationships with faculty to share best practices for encouraging student learning; creating opportunities to provide learning enriched experiences for students through individual and collaborative sessions; training facilitators to meet the various learning needs of our students; and providing continuing education as well as monitoring and maintaining CRLA certification for facilitators to meet university needs and demands.
