The student keeps this adviser for the duration of his stay at the College unless his interests are better served by a change. The adviser counsels with students on many problems of an educational, vocational, leisure or a vocational, moral or social, health, and personal nature. He helps the student by giving suggestion and encouragement rather than by making decisions for him. Each member of the faculty serves in the guidance program.

These students are given individual guidance consideration by advisers. Students who have failed to maintain a ratio of one grade point or a C average at the close of the quarter are placed on probation. Their registrations may be limited for the following quarter.
