The purpose of advising at Yakima Valley Community College is to assist you in making the best possible choices that will help you reach your educational and career goals.   Advising is the shared responsibility of the student and the academic advisor.  All students are assigned a faculty advisor based on the area of interest indicated on the admissions application.   Students should meet with their advisor each quarter to develop a plan for their education and to insure that they are on the right track for graduation. You may change your advisor at any time by completing a Change of Advisor form available in the admissions office or in the counseling center.

When to seek advising:

• To select courses before registering for the next quarter
• To add or drop classes
• To apply for graduation
• To discuss academic difficulties
• To discuss transfer requirements

If you have additional questions, please email advising.
