Academic Advising & Learning Support
Articulating the institution’s philosophy of academic advising begins with understanding the students who enroll in Taylor Business Institute. To ensure student success, each student receives regular individualized oversight from the academic advisors, the program chairs and the faculty.
Degree Auditing: At Taylor Business Institute, student success is our number one priority. The professional advising staff works with the students, as well as graduate students. Academic advisors help students through their academic program, whether they need assistance with course registration, understanding the degree requirements and completion options, or getting connected with other resources at TBI. The College maintains accurate academic records such as transcripts and degree audits with the use of its administrative software. The responsibility of accuracy and timeliness of the student record lies with the office of registrar. Accurate student records are key to academic advising.
