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.

Faculty Advisors

Faculty advisors work with students who have earned 30 or more credits or have interest in specific certificates or degrees. They are experts in their discipline who can provide guidance and support for a particular career or major, in addition to assisting students create an academic plan for their chosen program, providing referrals to campus services and resources, and promoting student interest in service learning opportunities, like internships. Through partnership with students, faculty advisors encourage academic success towards program completion and timely graduation. See the department directory for contact information by department.

Special Program Advisors

Athletics, Running Start, ISP, Financial Aid, Womens Programs/WorkFirst, Workforce Education Services, Veterans Services, Umoja, ELCAP, BAS, and Placement are some of the opportunities for specialized advising.
