Our academic advisors assist current (completed the New Student Checklist, NSO and attended a NSE) students who plan to complete a certificate or associate degree. We advise based on your BC pathway. BC Pathways is a model focused on helping students choose their educational and career goals, creating an educational plan to align with that goal, and providing them support and resources along the way to aid in their success. To learn more about BC Pathways visit the BC Pathways website.
Click on the “BC Pathways and Advisors” tab below to schedule an appointment with your BC Pathway advisor. We offer virtual and in-person appointment options. To see advisor availability within the Microsoft Bookings software, students will need to select a service type (virtual or in-person) to then see the associated availability for that service type. Once you schedule an appointment via Microsoft Bookings, you will receive a system confirmation email with instructions and/or a Microsoft Teams link (if virtual) on how to access your appointment session. If you are an Interior Studies AA or Interior Design BAA student you need to schedule to meet with an Interior Design faculty advisor from your program.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Advisor calendars show available appointments for up to 14 days (two weeks) in advance. If you do not see an appointment that meets your scheduling needs, please check early the next morning for availability. Unless otherwise stated, you can expect your appointment to last about 30 minutes.

New student advising is intended for students in their first year of college (up to 45 credits) and for undecided/exploratory students. The New Student Advisor will serve as a general advisor and will meet with students up to their second quarter.
