Student Life
At Sessions College, you have access to a team of Student Advisors who are here to support you in reaching your learning goals. Our Student Advisors are trained artists and designers who understand the learning process and workflow of design students.
We check in often with our students and want to hear from you as well. Student Advisors can be contacted with any questions regarding program orientation, academic advisement, course access, learning environment issues, or transcripts. We encourage students to utilize the tools and resources offered here to maximize the learning experience.
Student Services provides support to encourage and ensure student success. We do this by continuous management of student pacing, participation, and grades within their programs. We resolve questions and concerns from students to make sure they stay on track. Finally, you can contact us for a range of services relating to student records, such as transcripts, schedules, diplomas, and more.
