ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT/REGISTRATION
The Monroe Academic Advisement Program provides each student with assistance
in planning and developing a specific academic program leading
to a degree upon completion of all required courses.
Each incoming student participates in an advisement interview, at which time
a complete schedule of program requirements is reviewed. The advisor
is available to discuss any questions the student may have on academic matters.
After the first semester, advisors assist each student in registration and
provide advisory services in academic, interpersonal, school-related
and personal areas. These services are provided to assist students
in the completion of their education at Monroe.
Each student’s progress is maintained in Degree Audit Program Evaluation. This
serves as the basis of certifying that all degree or certificate
requirements for graduation have been satisfied.
COUNSELING
Counselors are available at all times under an open door policy, as well as
by appointment, to provide students with academic, vocational,
personal and social counseling and support, as well as serving in an advocacy role in their relationship
with local, state and federal agencies.
The counselors conduct new student orientation sessions each semester to help familiarize our students with the college community.
Students learn about academic and practical support services available
as well as the responsibilities they must assume as students.
Counselors attempt to contact students who are in danger of being administratively or academically dismissed. Students who wish to
withdraw from classes during the semester must come to the appropriate
office. Students are made aware of the specific ramifications
of their leaving as this action relates to the loss of satisfactory standards of progress, program pursuit and/or pursuit level.
CAREER SERVICES
Monroe College recognizes its preparing students for the search for gainful
employment. The Career Services Office at Monroe will provide
the techniques and assistance students need to prepare themselves for entry into the job market. The
college encourages students to begin their work with the Career
Services Office during their first semester of enrollment. Students
also have access to members of their major academic department
who are available to counsel them with respect to how students
should conduct specific job searches. This is a comprehensive approach, but the key to success lies with the individual student.
Students seeking post-graduation employment willmust participate in Career
Seminars offered by the Career Services Office.
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Cooperative Education Internship is a program conducted by the Career Services Office in cooperation with businesses, industries, government agencies and non-profit organizations. The program
integrates on-campus study with work experience, usually off-campus.
Employment is usually directly related to the student’s academic
area; college credit is earned.
A student’s job experience reinforces the need to excel academically while
providing incentive and motivation to complete his/her degree.
Upon graduation, the student is able to find permanent employment
more readily because of on-the-job experience.
VETERANS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL
The Office of Veterans’ Services is located in the Admissions Office in King
Hall, Bronx Campus. The office provides information about admissions,
the Montgomery GI Bill, Dependents’ and Survivors’ Benefits, Chapter
35 benefits, and programs available to National Guard, Reservists,
and active military personnel. The counselor meets with all military applicants and continuing students and certifies students for military benefits.
Monroe College evaluates military transcripts and will accept credits that
are applicable to the student’s chosen major. The college may
also accept applicable credits earned through DANTES testing.
