Student Academic Advising Guide
Welcome from the Director of the Office of Advising Resources
Whether you are a first-year student, transfer student, or a graduating senior, this is a very exciting time for you. Here at Randolph-Macon College (RMC), faculty, staff and other students are ready to share with you the opportunities that will shape your college life and your future. Our liberal arts curriculum encourages you to explore our global society through science, history, literature, the arts and other disciplines.
The Office of Advising Resources and the College’s faculty advisors have years of experience and a wealth of knowledge to help you make the most of your time at RMC.
Our advisors partner with you to create a unique academic plan that moves you toward graduation and beyond. With their support, you can be confident in your abilities and goals. Advising will connect you with an abundance of resources on campus, from academic enrichment to career planning.
The Office of Advising Resources has prepared this Academic Advising Student Guide as a companion to the information you will learn in the Yellow Jacket Success Strategies (YJSS) course and throughout your collegiate career.
I wish you the very best as you take the next steps into your future.
LaNea Winston, MS Ed.
