Academic Advising
At Vernon College, all students are assigned a Student Success Advisor/Specialist upon completion of the admissions application dependent on location and program of study. The individual student is ultimately responsible for course and program selections. The Student Success Advisor/Specialist is a student’s primary point of contact for all student success needs beginning with the first semester and continuing through the completion of educational goals.

campus and/or community resources and support services
•
degree plan or plan of study

Vernon College participates in the Math Pathways for College Readiness by offering two distinct paths for Math Preparation. A student who chooses the Non-Algebra (Math 1332 or 1342) Pathway will not be automatically prepared for College Algebra (Math 1314) or Math for Business (
MATH 1324) and is required to take additional Developmental Math courses for enrollment in College Algebra.
