What’s the Academic Advising Day?
Academic Advising Day is designed to provide current* students access to faculty advisors and counselors, campus resources, transfer information and more. The day is devoted to helping students plan for their academic program as well as verify their choices they may have already made for Summer semester. For your convenience, the Transfer Fair is held on the same day.

What’s the College Transfer Fair?
The College Transfer Fair gives students the opportunity to meet with over 25 four-year colleges and universities. Schools will be stationed throughout the ATC during Advising Day.

What do students need to bring with them?
Students should bring their unofficial transcript to Academic Advising Day. This will help them and their advisor determine the courses needed. Unofficial transcripts are available online with the Online Student Center, in person at the Student Record’s Office, and in the Counseling Center. Students will also be able to print out their unofficial transcript in the ATC on Academic Advising Day.

Will students be able to register that day?
The college uses a tiered system for registration for the fall and winter semesters. See the registration schedule to determine when you are eligible to schedule for Winter 2008. If you have completed credits, you should check the schedule as you may be eligible to register sooner. Registration begins at 7am the day you are eligible to register.

Will students receive help with Online Student Center at Academic Advising Day?
Yes! Trained staff will guide students in the use of the Online Student Center, activating accounts and resetting passwords.

Should students arrive before 9:00 am?
No. Advisors and counselors will be available all day until 6:00 pm. The emphasis for this day is on advising (including an advising “check-up” for students who have already registered) and receiving transfer information, not on registration. There will be plenty of time for students to get the advising and information they need.

Anything else I should know?
Evening classes and biological science, physical science and preschool lab courses are still conducted on Academic Advising Day.
