Academic Advising
Upon enrollment, Birchwood University provides academic advising by assigning an academic advisor who assists the student in attaining his/her educational goals and fulfilling our university requirements. Students will be given the advisor's phone number and e-mail address. The advisor will be able to offer a more valuable insight into the student's educational planning, by contacting the student and having a greater understanding of the student's expectations and experience. The academic advisor is responsible for providing professional
and personal academic supervision to a student enrolled in a program at the university. The
academic advisor will work directly on a personal basis with each student to provide
academic advisement, guidance, and prompt feedback to each student who enrolls at the
University or asks for assistance
Academic Counseling
Academic counseling is available to all students during the admission process and throughout the program. Any problems the university is not able to address will be referred to community organizations and agencies to better meet the student's needs.
Career Services
The university does not make any guarantees of employment or salary upon graduation. The university will offer career services, which will consist of identifying employment opportunities and advising on appropriate means of attempting to realize these opportunities. The Career Services advisor will help the student in creating a resume, sharpen the student’s interviewing skills, and advise on strategies for searching for current job opportunities.
E-Library
