Senior Academic Advisor, Veteran Services - Las Vegas, United States - College of Southern Nevada
![Default job background](https://contents.bebee.com/public/img/bg-user-ex-1.jpg)
Description
Senior Academic Advisor, Veteran Services
Job Description
*This position will be open until filled. For full consideration, all application related materials should be submitted by March 21,2024 . Application review will begin March 22, 2024.
Providing first-time students, returning students, as well as undeclared majors in transition with advisement and orientation services. They will assist new incoming students plan their first semester coursework, assess their personal strengths and limitations, learn academic success strategies, explore careers, declare a major, learn to navigate the educational system, benefit from campus and community resources, and connect to campus life. The advisor works with students to implement a personalized success plan and identify available resources and take proactive steps essential for academic success. They will assist continuing, returning, and transferring students (all majors - excluding health programs) with planning course work for all semesters (throughout graduation). Review credits that transferred to CSN, and conduct manual graduation audits for returning, continuing, and transfer students. Assist students with SAP appeals, residency appeals, excess credit fee appeals, unusual enrollment, and academic suspension. Assist students who are on academic warning and probation. There is an expectation to be the expert in VA education benefits and provide advising assistance with consideration of the impact on their benefits.
The incumbent must work independently and utilize excellent problem-solving skills, as job responsibilities are multifaceted and at times can be sensitive. Although the incumbent relies on several resources (e.g., state, institutional, departmental, federal procedures, and regulations) to handle daily circumstances, the employee must use independent judgment when facing unique situations with limited precedents requiring greater decision-making and conflict resolution. Problems encountered could be of varying degrees of complexity, including some where alternative solutions are not readily available, or where guidelines and precedents do not exactly always apply. Interpersonal interactions must be characterized by clear explanations and interpretations of facts, policies, and regulations. Incumbent is expected to carry out day-to-day assignments with limited supervision. Work objectives are set for advisors but the methods for performing tasks are frequently left to the judgment of the incumbent. Incumbent is expected to be sensitive to potential problems so that supervisory assistance can be secured on matters which have broader implications (e.g., violations to academic & student conduct policy). Results emphasize overall impact on student retention rates, persistence outcomes, end-of-semester student's academic performance and graduation rates.
In addition to advising, the incumbent must continue to remain verified as a School Certifying Official and complete the Department of Veteran Affairs annual training requirements. They will serve as a VA School certifying official (SCO) and assist with processing VA benefits to the Department of Veteran Affairs. The processing of VA benefits is time sensitive, requires attention to detail, and a clear understanding of the Department of Veteran Affairs rules and regulations.
The ideal candidate will possess the following knowledge, skills, and abilities:
Administrative Faculty C. The starting salary is $53,805.
CSN offers a generous benefits package comprised of excellent health insurance including medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, basic life insurance, and supplemental options (long-term care, short-term disability, and legal).
