Advisor – Mentor Role

Every student at CTU is assigned an advisor according to his degree program and major. The advisor will take a personal interest in the student’s spiritual well-being, academic progress, and ministerial training.

The advisor is the primary source of contact between the student and the university. Students are to direct any questions or concerns to their advisors. Advisors are directly involved in providing caring direction, help, and counsel to their students.

The advisor can provide guidance in the fulfillment of program requirements by maintaining a separate student file and updating the status sheet. The advisor may represent the student to any administrator or committee and in any possible appeal process. If the student is in ministry, the advisor may serve as mentor if needed, but without any interference in pastoral staff relationships.

The advisor is to help the student’s experience to be an enjoyable and successful endeavor through graduation. Students are expected to respect their advisors and respond to their counsel. The advisor system is provided for the benefit of the student and expresses the commitment of the faculty. The provision of the Holy Spirit and Christian graces can make it a meaningful and memorable relationship.
