Academic Advising Mission

Academic Counselors assist and empower students with the development of their academic plan to achieve their personal and life goals. 

We are here to help you! 

You can now book an appointment with an Academic Counselor through STAR Balance.

Counselors are available throughout the year to help you…

  • Explore options for educational programs and majors
  • Transfer to a four-year
  • Select the appropriate class
  • Career exploration
  • Mental health counseling
  • Disability services
  • Veteran resources
  • Connect with college and community resources
  • Transfer to another college or university

All new students must see a counselor before registering for classes for the first time. Students must also see a counselor during their first semester to register for their second-semester classes. We highly recommend seeing a counselor before you register each semester, to prepare to transfer to another college or university, and before petitioning for graduation.
