Education Center

Counseling and advising includes providing information and analysis of students’ academic goals and offering options to successfully meet those goals. Education specialists and counselors are knowledgeable about all levels of post-secondary education and help to guide undergraduate and graduate students. Education specialists/counselors assist with education issues and problems experienced by students and refer students to other information sources of financial aid, vocational/technical programs, and other non-traditional methods for obtaining a post-secondary education. The following is a list of associated counseling/advising assistance. Additionally, Education Specialists maintain student’s education records in the Air Force Automated Education Management System (AFAEMS) to include, but not limited to, reviewing, approving, and uploading degree/education plans to the students’ virtual education record, and annotating student records with comprehensive counseling notes.
