This may be the number one advisee question! Students have a wide variety of course options at Highline College. Advisors can help students identify appropriate classes by asking students about their academic goals, interests and background. If the student has identified a certificate or degree, advisors can show students how to access degree audit to find a list of required classes. The college catalog includes a printable degree planner for each of Highline’s degrees. The Advising Tool includes a Course Planner function whereby advisors can help students plan their classes by quarter using historical data from previous quarters’ class schedule. Pull up the students record first, then click “View Course Plan.”
 
If your student is seeking a degree at Highline that is outside of your area of expertise, guide them to the webpage for the department, and recommend they connect with the faculty or staff who have expertise in their area of interest. Students participating in special programs, i.e. Running Start or International Student Programs should meet with faculty advisors for career and transfer planning, while also remaining informed of their programmatic requirements on courses, credit loads or processes.
