Academic Advising provides students with a variety of informational and support services essential to college, career and employment success. Staffed by advising and career specialists, the office provides comprehensive support services including academic advising, career exploration, transfer planning, preparation for employment and access to employment opportunities.
All degree/certificate seeking students who do not have a college degree elsewhere are required to meet with an advisor for academic advising prior to registering for their first semester. Thereafter, academic advising and educational planning are encouraged to discuss program requirements, plan schedules and prepare for graduation and/or transfer.
