Advising

Advising for NEW Running Start Students

All other new students...

In most cases, students will have an Entry Advising block on their registration and are required to meet with an advisor in the Entry Advising Center.  Students in specific programs complete the entry advising requirement directly with faculty who teach in that program. 

 Before you are ready for Entry Advising, you will need to:

1. Have a ctcLink ID Number (you get this after you have applied to the college)
2. Have you attended any other colleges? If so, see below for more information.
3. Receive placement
   • New students can get the required course placement by taking the Accuplacer Placement Test or by submitting the Placement Form  with the required documentation. Please allow 5 business days for processing.
4. We also recommend you check out the helpful video below:
   • eLearning (online learning) tips
5. What if I don't know what I want to study? 
   • No need to worry! We have resources to help you explore. Click on our Career Coach site for more information on how to find a pathway and program that works for you.

Once you complete these steps, join us via Zoom or in-person to meet with an advisor.

Are you a new student with previous college coursework from another school?
