Academic Advising Mission 

ACC advisors teach students to make educational choices to achieve their academic potential and to be full participants in the college’s mission of advancing our diverse population and empowering lifelong learners to succeed as global citizens.

What is Academic Advising?

Academic advising is a collaborative process in which the student and advisor work together to ensure that the student is on track towards their educational and career goals. An academic advisor can assist students by confirming that their program of study aligns with their career goals, empowering students to make the best academic decisions for their unique situation, discussing the course options within a program of study, assisting with course registration and verifying that the student is on track for degree completion.

If you are pursuing a degree, diploma or certificate program, you are assigned an academic advisor upon admission to the college. Your academic advisor is an instructor within your designated program. It is very important to meet with your advisor before registering for courses each semester and throughout your program at ACC.
