Academic advising at MCC is a college-wide effort dedicated to helping you reach your educational goals. Members of the college community provide guidance, encouragement and resources based on their specific areas of expertise.
Academic Year Advising (Fall/Spring Semesters)
Every student admitted to a degree or certificate program is assigned to an academic advisor within that program. You should meet with your advisor at least twice a semester to review your learning plan, evaluate the progress you are making towards graduation / transfer, and select courses for the upcoming semester. You and your advisor will work together to develop and refine your academic plan, address challenges, and identify opportunities.
Find your academic advisor today.
Academic Advising Center
The Academic Advising Center, located in the Learning Commons (Room 268), is staffed by academic advisors representing every academic department at MCC. The Academic Advising Center provides advising to non-matriculated students (those not admitted to a degree or certificate program) and to matriculated students when their faculty advisors are not available (for example, during the summer). The Academic Advising Center also processes change of major requests and incoming transfer credit.
