Advising
Advising Sessions
Current students are strongly encouraged to make appointments with their assigned advisor throughout the spring and fall semesters. You can find your advisor’s contact information in Navigate, DegreeWorks, or MY HCC.
Drop-In Advising & Course Registration
The Advising Center offers limited drop-in advising services for newly accepted students, available both in person and via Zoom, when registration first opens for each term.
Full drop-in availability for both current and new students typically begins in May for Summer/Fall advising and in November for Winter Session/Spring advising. Drop in days are subject to change, so make sure to contact the Advising Center for the most up-to-date information.
Please note: Current students who are already assigned a professional advisor through a support program at the college will be encouraged to connect directly with their assigned advisor.
