Academic Advising | GateWay Community College

Academic advising is more than selecting courses for an upcoming semester or making a plan to graduate. Students should initiate and maintain contact with advisors to discuss situations and issues affecting academic performance, including:

Enrolling in Gecko Gear Up
Prior Learning Assessment Evaluation
Academic, professional and technical programs
Exploration of educational and life goals
Information on campus resources and services
Selection and sequencing of courses
University transfer options
Work and family commitments

Advisors will listen and respond to personal interests and concerns, suggest useful college resources, share college and departmental policies and procedures, make appropriate referrals for student support services and provide guidance and assistance with academic, career and life goals.

In order to see an advisor you must have completed the Admissions Process.
