Provides appropriate referrals for personal, social, and/or academic concerns that may impair success.
Upholds confidentiality and complies with institutional policies, accreditation standards, and federal regulations.
Assists with planning and coordination of events such as financial aid workshops and outreach activities.
Maintains tools, systems, or resources necessary to effectively perform job duties, including updating student information systems.
Remains current on relevant state and federal guidelines, emerging best practices, and research related to the role.
