Academic Advising

We are excited to have you join us at QCC! New students must meet with an advisor for their initial advising and registration. Please keep an eye on your acceptance letter for information about how to connect with us.

This email will contain important information about Math and English placement and information about our drop-in hours. Please refer to our placement guidelines for more information.

An advisor can also help you:

• outline educational and career goals.
• develop an academic plan to achieve success.
• map out program courses and requirements.
• prepare for self-registration or register for courses.

Academic advising offers an appointment-based system for returning students to better meet your unique advising needs. Please download the Navigate360 App to make an appointment with your Advisor!

Drop-in hours are designed to answer quick questions, while appointments are best for longer conversations about your academic plans.

Our drop-in hours are:

• Mondays from 2-5 p.m.
• Tuesdays from 2-6 p.m.
• Wednesdays from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
• Thursdays from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Advisors also provide information about important resources at QCC and careers associated with QCC programs of study. (If you need assistance with a job search or finding a co-op or internship please contact Career Services.)

There are several types of advisors to whom you may be assigned:

• Advising Center Advisor: Full or part-time professional academic advisors affiliated with the Advising Center.
• Faculty Advisor: Full-time faculty who have a caseload of students within their respective majors.
• Program Advisors: If you are affiliated with a specific program (Future Focus, Gateway to College, TRiO, etc.), you will be assigned to a staff member within that program.

Advisor assignments take place in late September and early February. Students are emailed (via student email) at those times with notification of their advisor assignment.
