Advisement Services

Successful, self-directed students are our University's aim. To that end, academic advisors are entrusted to helping each Leighton students identify and evaluate academic paths that be found to be in their best interest. Advisement at Leighton is a collaborative, continuous process of evaluation and clarification, a process leading to student development, growth, and maturity. Keeping the students' career goals in mind, students and advisors define and assess choices and consequences, extending from degree program selection to course selection – not only what to take but also why to take it. While the advisors' role is vital in this process, the ultimate responsibility for advisement decisions rests with the student. Advisors take a personal interest in each student, guiding him/her toward a program fitting for their academic and career goals and aspirations as well as expectations and challenges.

Each Leighton student is assigned an academic advisor based on his or her major and the number of credit hours completed. First-year students are assigned a staff academic advisor once they have attended an online orientation. Transfer students are assigned either staff or faculty advisor based upon their number of earned credit hours and major. For questions, either call (662) 214 5300 or email.
