Georgia Highlands College has started a new advising program this semester called Advising DAZE.

The program is intended to alleviate stress that accompanies registration and encourage students to register online for classes.

Starting March 14 on the Rome campus, faculty advisors were available to meet with students to discuss the student's educational and career goals and advise what classes and academic approach would be best to most effectively meet those goals.

No appointment is necessary to see an adviser during Advising DAZE.

Students could not register for classes at this time, but with the help of advisors could decide which classes to take and be ready to sign up for classes online once Summer Semester registration is open.

According to Laura Ralston, associate professor of mathematics and general advising specialist, "Advising DAZE is intended to be an opportunity for a student, aided by a faculty member, to explore and to determine educational options which will ultimately lead to achievement of his or her personal and professional goals. We hope the student will then be empowered to schedule their own courses via web registration."

A specific goal of Advising DAZE, according to Ralston, is to help students better understand the core curriculum.

"We hope to alleviate some of the workload of the Advising Center and the off-campus center directors," Ralston said.

Advising DAZE will continue through March 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3:30 pm to 7 p.m. in the student center of Floyd's Rome campus.

It will also be held March 17, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Room 211 on the North Metro Tech campus in Acworth and at the Cartersville Campus on March 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in Room 114.
