Advising

The appointment with a professional advisor for your first semester is a critical step in creating the right academic plan. They will share important deadlines, campus resources, and support services that can help you succeed. 

Schedule your advising appointment as soon as possible once you have completed your admission application. 

Sign up with a main campus advisor. Appointments are in Eastern Time Zone.

Walk-ins are always welcome! Please note there may be a short wait depending on availability. Stop by the Welcome & Admissions Office, Room 101, in the Regional Postsecondary Center on our main campus. The office is open M-F from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. (EST).

If you're a visiting student, you must complete the Visiting Student Form with your home college before you're eligible for registration. A copy of your college transcripts may be required if your ECTC class requires a prerequisite class.

Sign up for Handshake to provide a resource for job fairs, career events and virtual interviews. Researching career options gives you valuable insight into occupations so you can understand which careers might satisfy you. Having a clear career goal increases your likelihood of completing your program and moving into your career.
