Program Notes
- Importance of Advising. Advising is an important part of completing a degree. Students are responsible for checking the transfer requirements of 4-year schools they plan to attend; advisors can help with this. Students can meet with Pathway Advisors during their first 30 credits. International Student Programs, Running Start, TRiO and many other programs also offer advising. Making an appointment with an advisor will help students stay on track with their academic plans. After completing 30 credits, a student should meet with a faculty advisor. Faculty Advisors are teachers and experts in their subject. If a student does not already have a faculty advisor, they can fill out the Faculty Advisor Request Form.
