Academic Advising and Advising Services


ACADEMIC ADVISING

Academic Advising is a process in which the student and assigned academic advisor meet to establish pathways that are consistent with the student’s career, academic and personal goals. Academic advisors are available to provide students with guidance in the areas of course selection and registration; educational planning; campus support services; graduation requirements and much more! Establishing a partnership between the advisor and student is crucial to each student’s success. Therefore, it is a requirement that each student contact his/her advisor at least once each term before registering for classes.

Students who need to change a class schedule, drop or add a course, withdraw from the College, or ask any additional questions about courses should contact their assigned academic advisor. Contact can be made through SCC email address, telephone number found in AVISO, or Self-Service.  Students may also schedule to meet with their Academic Advisor through AVISO.

ADVISING SERVICES

Advising Services offers the following services:

  • Academic advising for students through the beginning of the third term, if pertinent. Students will then be transitioned to faculty advisors. The  Advising Center will also serve students in the pre-health science and nursing programs until they gain acceptance in the program.
