Academic Advisors are available to help students clarify their educational goals and to identify what courses they need to take to meet certificate or degree requirements.  Academic Advisors are assigned to students at new student orientation. The assigned advisor will be able to assist their students at any point during their time at Glen Oaks Community College. Appointments are encouraged and can be made by contacting the advisor directly or by visiting the Student Services Office.

Academic Advising can help with many facets of college life, and advisors assist students in many ways. The advising department strives to:

1. Offer readily available advising to meet the needs of students.
2. Assist students with the development of meaningful educational plans and learning goals.
3. Assist students with transitions from their previous academic environment.
4. Assist students in choosing educational and career objectives compatible with their skills, interests, and abilities.
5. Assist students for education beyond Glen Oaks Community College.

It is encouraged that students be an active participant in their educational pathway. Students should use curriculum guides as well as the College’s advising software to track their progress to degree completion.  Curriculum guides for degrees and certificates are available in the Student Services Office or in the college catalog.
