The TAMUCC Advising Centers only have one handout that is

regularly distributed and it is to encourage students to see their advisor before registration advising begins.

The Transfer Office has 10 or more flyers that are distributed to

students.

The flyers distributed in the Transfer Office are Freshman and

Transfer Admission Brochures, Academic Advisor Contact, ROTC, Campus Map, Island Day, Bachelor of Applied Science brochure, STEM info, Transfer Guides, & a quick reference guide however it does not detail the functions of each center/office.

Information obtained by Dr. Patricia Hill, Director of Transfer Services and John Paul Regalado, Executive Director, Academic Advising

An important weakness at TAMUCC is that

students feel that they get the “run-around” when seeking information

Student generally feel that they could know

more about what is happening on campus

Students feel that some staff in admissions lack

the knowledge they are seeking

TAMUCC Noel-Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory - 2012

Students should be able to look up the

information they need online

Students believe they know the information and

do not need assistance

Campus staff and faculty understand and know

the functions of each TAMUCC center

COA1 is clearly the best method for connecting

students to campus services & resources. The impact that the guide can have on students successfully acquiring academic resources effortlessly, far exceeds the cost it may take to be produced.
