Academic Resources

Career Advising

Career advising services are available to students, alumni and the general public. The planning process includes assistance in matching students to potential careers that merge values, interests and abilities and help in researching academic and career paths. The Career Advising Center at each campus can provide the following services:

ACADEMIC ADVISING

Most academic advising is provided by campus faculty, program chairs or deans. Advisors discuss requirements of the programs and offer guidance to students in planning a schedule which fits individual needs. Each campus Career Advising Center offers academic advising to undeclared students or students who are contemplating changing majors.

DISABILITY SERVICES

SCC provides services for students with disabilities. Students who are requesting an accommodation based on a documented disability are advised to make the request known as soon as possible to ensure timely service. Failure to do so may result in a delay in determining whether a student has a documented disability and whether accommodations may be granted and put in place. This may delay entrance into some classes that require extensive accommodations. Information regarding accommodations for students with disabilities is available from:

PERSONAL COUNSELING

Personal counseling or therapy is not available through the Career Advising Centers in Beatrice, Lincoln or Milford.

Staff will assist students to locate professional resources appropriate to their needs.

STUDENT RETENTION AND SUCCESS

The Student Retention Specialist on each campus assists students who are experiencing academic difficulty by assisting them in developing plans for success. The Retention Specialist also has many resources on a variety of topics related to student success, including improving study skills, testing skills and time management skills.

LRCs

The Learning Resource Centers of SCC operate to provide accessible learning environments for students and employees. By

using both traditional and electronic resources, the LRCs meet the needs of students and employees at each campus while serving the College as a whole. Hours of service, phone numbers and access to the LRCs’ electronic resources are available at the LRCs’ page www.southeast.edu/academics/library.asp. Loan policies vary by location. A valid student identification card is required to check out materials. Overdue fees and replacement fees may be charged for late, lost or damaged materials. Passwords are needed for remote use of the databases. Students and employees should contact their campus LRC for passwords and training with the databases. Media services are available through the LRCs. Although each campus LRC laminates materials and runs transparencies, the Media services differ by campus. If interested in media services, contact your campus LRC for additional information.
