Academic advising
Academic advisors help you select courses, stay on track to earn a degree and work toward your career goals. Student Success advisors are available throughout the year.
Students enrolled in degree and certificate programs are assigned an advisor from that department. Before you register for classes, we suggest you check with your advisor to make sure the classes you choose are what you need to complete a degree on time.
Advisors assist you with:
- academic planning
- career planning
- transfer planning
- course selection
- degree management
- establishing career goals
Our office coordinates the matriculation process (declaring a major), Early Alert, Academic Alert, Midterm Outreach, and advising technologies, communications and training.
We are the primary student resource for Priority Registration, Change of Major, Withdrawal from a class and Add/Drop.
