Center for Student Success FAQs

Academic advising is an integral part of academic life at Florida Southern College. Upon arriving at Florida Southern College, each new student is assigned to an Academic Advisor who serves as a mentor to help the student develop a plan for college studies and for success in life beyond college. The academic advising process emphasizes the collaborative role of the student and the Academic Advisor and plays a vital role in empowering students to become responsible for their own education.

Students plan their course schedule with their Academic Advisor. Because the partnership of student and Academic Advisor requires close cooperation, all Florida Southern College students are required to meet with their Academic Advisors at designated times during the academic year. Throughout the student’s career, the student and the Academic Advisor work together to establish personal, educational, and professional goals for the student.

Students who desire to change their major should first speak with their Academic Advisor. Then, students complete the change major form, located on the Registrar’s webpage or obtained from the Registrar’s Office. This form requires the signature of the student’s Academic Advisor.

You will need to fill out a drop/add form found on the Registrar’s page. This form needs to be signed by your academic advisor.
