Academic Advising

Boozhoo and Welcome to Leech Lake Tribal College. Academic Advisors are responsible for implementing, monitoring, and coordinating academic and career advisement. We provide assistance in maintaining academic progress for completion of coursework for degree programs, information about available resources and services on campus, assistance with transfer process to a four-year institution, and Career & Academic enrichment seminars. Each new degree-seeking student will be assigned two (2) academic advisors starting the first semester of enrollment in the college. One advisor will be a faculty member; the other will be an academic advisor from Student Services. The academic advisor from Student Services will make preliminary approval of the student’s registration form each semester and forward the form to the faculty member academic advisor for final approval. No student will be allowed to register for classes at Leech Lake Tribal College until the registration form is completed and signed by the student and both academic advisors. Both advisors must also sign all add/drop forms, unless the faculty member is unavailable. Students are encouraged to meet with their advisors during each semester to discuss their academic performance and progress toward degree completion, to discuss and review degree and career consideration, and to select appropriate courses. Advisors are available to discuss and help resolve any difficulties that students may be encountering in achieving their educational goals.

Sincerely,

Teresa Halverson
Administration and Admissions Assistant & Academic Advisor
