Academic Advising at HSE Schools

Academic advising is an important step in the education process.  It is a chance for counselors, faculty, parents and other caring adults to partner with students in a discovery process.  Successful academic advising encourages students to take ownership of their academic journey by:
 

• Exploring dreams and passion areas
• Considering individual learning styles – highlighting strengths and opportunities
• Identifying short-term and long term goals and the accompanying academic plans
• Learning about available programs, courses and opportunities
• Developing successful time management, organization, and study skills

• How can I learn about additional academic support and resources like high ability or exceptional learners?

• What is the difference between AP, honors, and dual credit?
• What is a four year plan?
• What is the right diploma track for me?
