Academic Advisors
Academic Advisors specialize in specific majors or programs. Be sure to select the correct advisor to match your area of study or use our Find your Advisor Tool to connect you with the right person. High school concurrent and general study students in degree programs such as AAS Applied Technology, AS Enterprise Development, and AS PreProfessional are assigned Academic Advisors by the first letter of their last name.
Appointments are recommended. For information on how to schedule an academic advising appointment, click here. Walk-in services are also available and may include a wait time.
