Academic Advising
Academic advising is a shared responsibility between students and advisers. Together students and advisers set realistic goals, identify campus resources and support services, understand the requirements for majors, and develop a graduation plan. Ultimately, students will make informed and responsible choices that will impact their own success.
SLCC has both faculty advisers and student success center advisers. Student success advisers assist all new, returning, and transfer students during student success live sessions (initial registration). Some students will continue to be advised during their first semester at the student success center. Most students will be advised by a full-time faculty member in their major or program.
SLCC assigns advisers based on students’ majors/programs and home campuses. Advisers are assigned during the first month of the student’s enrollment at SLCC. Once assigned, students may determine their advisers in LoLA.
Some advisers may moderate a Canvas advising class. This class will include resources for academic planning, including instructions for class registration, overviews of degree plans, and requirements for graduation. Students will be added to their advisers’ Canvas advising classes (if applicable) during the first month of the students’ enrollment.
