Academic Advising
Academic advising is an intentional and collaborative partnership between you and your advisor. We’ll work together to make a plan for success as you work toward your technical diploma or associate degree and help you meet your educational and career goals.
See your academic advisor for:
- Career and program planning
- Class scheduling
- Program changes or additions
- Dropping a class
- Academic struggles
Your academic advisor will work with you to develop an academic plan with specific goals and proactively support you in following it and staying on track to graduation. Learn more about expectations and key dates in the advising syllabus.
Your advisor is determined by your degree program. To schedule an appointment, call a college experience specialist at 888.575.6782. New students can learn more about what to expect from advising and what to bring to their first advising appointment on our New Student Advising page.
