Advising is a process based on a close student-advisor relationship intended to help students achieve their educational, career, and personal goals through the use of the college and community resources.
An Advisor Can Help You:
- Make a plan to complete degree or certificate requirements
- Register for classes for next quarter
- Determine which academic pathway will help you reach your personal goals
- Navigate your college experience and connect to resources
- Practice decision-making skills to set yourself up for academic success
- Learn about transferring to a 4-year college or university
How do I speak with an Advisor?
From admission to graduation, students are encouraged to meet with an advisor every quarter.
Drop-in advising
Drop-in advising is available via phone, on Zoom, or in person on a first-come, first-served basis. Advising times average around 10-15 minutes.
Drop-in advising hours are Monday-Friday, 10am-2:30pm. To sign up, please sign in to the Starfish Virtual Kiosk, or call (206) 546-4559.
