To support the work of Program Coordinators and Academic Advisors, there is a team of Student Advisors who are also a resource to students. Student Advisors conduct developmental advising in person, by phone and through email. These conversations are structured so that they can listen to the student’s situation, answer their questions and discuss possible supports and strategies.
Student Advisor sessions relating to Academic Probation include (however, are not limited to):
- a clarification of the Academic Probation standing, probation requirements and possible implications
- a discussion about available options (i.e. program change)
- referrals to appropriate on-campus supports and services
- an individualized action plan, with a strategy for student success
Students with a May Not Continue standing may also benefit from a developmental advising session. Student Advisors listen to the student’s situation, discuss possible options and outline next steps in a tailored action plan. As a starting point, students with a May Not Continue standing may be referred to the following virtual URL: manageyouracademics.sheridancollege.ca.
Student Advisement is open Monday to Friday, 8am – 5pm. We are located in the Student Service Centre, Room B230 at Davis, Room B104 at Trafalgar, and at the Welcome Desk at HMC. After hours, students and staff are welcome to e-mail questions to askanadvisor@sheridancollege.ca
