Keene State College Academic Advising

🎉 Welcome home, Keene State College! 🎉
We’re so excited you are back!

A quick reminder from Academic Advising:
In observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, the college — and our office — will be closed.

📅 Need to adjust your schedule?
The add period runs from Tuesday, Jan 20 through Monday, Jan 26.
We’ll be offering drop‑in advising every day from 9 AM–4 PM, Tuesday through Monday.

Welcome back, Owls — we can’t wait to see you on Tuesday, Jan 20! 🦉💛

As a team we wanted to welcome our newest Academic Advisor Keira! What better way to bond as a team while getting these pups outside for walks and some indoor cuddling! We learned that every Greyhound we walked is available for adoption!

Also keep an eye out as they are planning to bring back more volunteer opportunities for our community!

🎉DONT FORGET! 🎉

Drop-in advising is in full swing, and we're here to help you adjust your schedule! Need to swap a class, add one more, or just make sure everything is all set? SASS has your back!

📍Where? The Elliot Center - First Floor
⏲When? 9 - 4 every day no appointment needed! Just let the front desk know you're here, and we'll take care of the rest.

❗Heads up! Add/Drop ends Tuesday January 28 at 4:30pm, so don't wait until the last minute! Swing by today - we're happy to help you get it all sorted.

Need help finishing your schedule, or making some changes to your schedule now that you've registered?

We're here all week this week 9am-4pm for Drop-In Advising - stop by and work with one of our available advisors!

We can also help with questions about things like:
*summer courses
*transferring credit from another institution
*remaining requirements to complete your degree
*...and pretty much anything else!

Were some of your classes full when you tried to register?

Do you need assistance choosing another course but don't know what's available?

You can come by for Drop-In Advising this week and next, 9am-4pm daily (Mon-Fri) - no appointment needed! Come and meet with one of our available advisors who can help you look in Student Planning to find courses and get registered for Fall '23!

We're located on the first floor of the Elliot Center, in the Student Academic Support Services (SASS) wing.

If you're thinking about withdrawing from a course, please:
1) reach out to your academic advisor or stop by our office anytime this week Mon-Fri, 9am-4pm to meet with an available advisor
2) reach out to the Financial Aid office to ask if withdrawing will affect your financial aid package or scholarships, especially if you drop below 12 credits;
3) (if you live on-campus), reach out to the Community Living office to ask if withdrawing will affect your housing situation, especially if you drop below 12 credits.

Having those conversations before withdrawing can avoid a lot of unwanted surprises or hassles!

The deadline to withdraw is this Friday, April 7. After this date, you will not be able to withdraw yourself from any of your courses.

Have questions or concerns? You can stop by the SASS office, call us at (603) 358-2500, or email [email protected]!

Registering for your Fall 2023 courses on your assigned day/time gives you the best opportunity to get seats in courses that you want or need!

(Don't know your registration day/time? You can find that information in Student Planning: click on "Plan & Schedule" and then find Fall 2023. The blue banner will have your assigned registration time.)

Need help? Contact your faculty advisor or come by our office any day Mon-Fri, 9am-4pm this week and we can help you get registered for Fall 2023!

(Share this reminder with your friends!)

Registration for Fall 2023 begins next week, Owls! Check Student Planning for your assigned registration date & time.

If you haven't connected with your academic advisor yet, send them an email today! You can also come by our office anytime Mon-Fri, 9am-4pm, for Drop-In Advising. No appointment needed, you can sign in and meet with an available advisor who can help you plan your courses.

Registration begins next week, Owls! Make sure you have your classes planned and looked at by an advisor before you hit that Register Now button.

Seeking advising can help you:
-take the courses you need to stay on track to graduate
-avoid taking courses out of recommended order
-find courses and options that you weren't aware of that add joy or helpful new skills!

Self-advising can sometimes mean spending more time and money than you need to...be wise, Owls, and meet with an advisor.

Don't know who your faculty advisor is? Just ask! We can help you locate that information.

Our office is open daily, Mon-Fri, 9am-4pm and we always have an available advisor on duty who can sit with you to help you build your schedule - no appointment needed!

Interested in attending Student Involvement's Summer Alternative Break Trip to the Elephant Sanctuary? 🐘🚗

The Elephant Sanctuary exists to provide captive elephants with individualized care, the companionship of a herd, and the opportunity to live out their lives in a safe haven dedicated to their well-being. The Sanctuary also works to educate the public about the complex needs of elephants in captivity and the crisis facing elephants in the wild. The Sanctuary is currently home to 4 African elephants and 5 Asian elephants, all of whom are retired from performance in the circus or display at zoos. Service on this trip will include indirect service to benefit the elephants which may include painting, raking, weeding, pruning, clearing brush, moving/organizing supplies, creating enrichment items, and more. Participants WILL NOT have any direct contact with the elephants.

Location: Hohenwald, Tennessee June 17-25, 2023
