At Montgomery Community College, every student is assigned an academic advisor to help guide them through their educational journey. Advisors assist with course selection, degree planning, understanding program requirements, and connecting with campus resources and career opportunities.
New Students
New students are assigned a Success Navigator (see Success Navigator Information) as their academic advisor, based on their program of study. This advisor remains assigned until the student:
- Completes 24 credit hours toward their program,
- Finishes the required English or Math course(s), and
- Maintains a 2.0 cumulative GPA.
Current Students
Once these milestones are met, students transition to a faculty advisor within their academic program. These faculty advisors are subject matter experts who can provide in-depth guidance, including information on internships, apprenticeships, and career paths.
Before Meeting with Your Advisor
Students should:
- Know their advisor’s name, office location, contact info, and office hours (included in your welcome/acceptance letter).
- Schedule an appointment or drop in to ask questions or discuss concerns.
- Meet with their advisor at least once per semester to review course plans and career goals.
- Understand their program’s course requirements and come prepared to discuss them.
- Always speak with an advisor—and financial aid—before dropping a course, as it may affect program completion or funding.
A Shared Responsibility
Advising is a partnership. Keep your advisor informed of any issues or changes in a timely manner—they are here to support your success.
