Academic Pathway Advisors in the Advising Center

Academic Pathway Advisors are generalists who can assist you during your first 30 credits at Highline. We help with navigating college, selecting your first quarter of classes, choosing a program (Highline Pathway), and beginning to explore career and transfer options. Pathway advisors are introduced in New Student Orientation. We hope to meet with you to help you get started choosing your program and selecting your classes after your orientation.

Advising is offered individually (by appointment) and at scheduled group advising events to assist current students with academic planning during their first 30 credits.

Highline Advising Opportunities

The Advising Center offers general advising, but there are other important opportunities for advising.
