How can the Advising Center help me? Academic Pathway Advisors can assist you in selecting courses, choosing a major (Highline Pathway), degree completion, credit overloads, and removing blocks. Academic Pathway Advisors are located in the lower level of the Student Services Building 6. Academic Pathway Advisors offer individual advising on a drop-in and appointment basis to assist current students with academic planning.

If you have an assigned faculty advisor, it is best to schedule an appointment with your faculty advisor. To find your faculty advisor’s contact info, click here.

Advisors are working from home, but we are still available to help you!

VIRTUAL ONLINE ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE

Advising assistance are currently being offered via Zoom (Video Conferencing). To connect with an advisor, please choose from the options below:
The Zoom App can be installed on a computer, tablet or smartphone or can call in. For scheduled appointments, an advisor will send details to your student email. Please check your student email for Zoom instructions. Online Drop-in instructions are below:

1) Schedule a Zoom appointment, click here.

Do you have an assigned faculty advisor? Your faculty advisor is the subject matter expert in your program and it is best that you meet with your faculty advisor instead of a Academic Pathway Advisor to discuss your academic, transfer and career plans. Normally, Academic Pathway Advisors are generalist advisors that can help plan your first 2 quarters and is suggested to meet with an faculty advisor once you have determined your pathway. For example, if you are in AAS – Criminal Justice, an Academic Pathway Advisor will refer you to a criminal justice faculty advisor.
