Faculty Advising

Faculty advisors are key to student success! Students are highly encouraged to meet regularly with a faculty advisor to discuss degree requirements, transfer options, career opportunities, and more.

Request a Faculty Advisor

If you have earned 30 credits or more and would like to request a faculty advisor, simply complete the online Faculty Advisor Request form. You will be matched with an advisor based on your degree and area of study.

In addition to working with a faculty advisor, remember your current instructors are also great resources. You do not need to be officially assigned to a faculty member to seek their advice.
