Advising

Advisors are here to help you create and maintain an educational plan, enroll in classes, and deal with life issues that could interfere with your ability to complete your education. Your advisor is your “go-to guide to success.” Students on all our campuses have advisors.

Find out who your advisor is in myAllen >> Academics >> Academic Information. You can contact or make an appointment with your navigator at any time to discuss educational plans, career paths and enrolling in classes.

Full-time advisors are available on each campus from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.  Faculty advisors hours may vary to accommodate teaching schedules.  The best way to schedule a meeting is to email your advisor.

Almost everything. Really! Advisors are trained to assist you with academic advising, enrolling in courses, degree planning, goal setting, scholarships, financial aid, campus and community resources, Canvas, Bookstore and textbooks, payment plans, and more.  If they cannot answer your question, they will refer you to the appropriate department onsite that can answer your question.

It is not required that you meet with your advisor prior to getting enrolled, but it is highly recommended.  Your advisor will work with you to make sure you stay on track for your specific degree or certificate.

You’re welcome to continue working with advisors and faculty who have helped you in the past. However, it’s still a good idea to contact and get to know your advisor. Your personal “go-to guide” can be another great resource to help you navigate college and answer questions about courses or programs.
