plan for on-time graduation

Developing a comprehensive plan to achieve your educational goals both eliminates mistakes as well as provides contingencies should courses not be available. Dr. Tammy’s experience in understanding how to navigate curriculum and course schedules provides the guidance to effectively plan for on-time graduation. Many courses are either over capacity or not offered every term, and this requires planning contingencies to overcome these hurdles. Dr. Tammy has worked with numerous students to come up with effective plans, and she has the ability to “think out of the box” when finding courses that fulfill requirements.
Making mistakes in course scheduling results in spending extra money and the delay of completion. What many people fail to understand is that there is no motivation on the part of the academic institution to make sure that a student graduates on time. Advisors are overwhelmed with large student loads, and the system is predicated on “the squeaky wheel gets the oil”. Dr. Tammy has personally heard stories from many students who have made these mistakes. These mistakes result in not only paying for extra tuition but also paying for additional housing and meal costs as well as a delay of graduation. Have you stopped to think: Why would an academic institution care about effective guidance since it is they who receive the extra revenue?

Most college advisors are specific to a certain major/department, which means that they can advise only on the subject matter as it relates directly to a student's major. Many of these advisors are also "stretched extremely thin", which results in "the squeaky wheel getting the oil". Also, many of the career advisors in higher education have only worked in academia, and they don't always provide the best career advice for a corporate job. Unless a student is highly proactive and resilient, they can become lost when trying to figure out how navigate the higher educational system in order to graduate and get a job.
Dr. Tammy's multifaceted experience provides the support for students to succeed. Since some students require more support than a package or a few 1-On-1 Sessions provides, Dr. Tammy offers her concierge service as a way to provide meaningful support should it of interest for some students.
