Get the most out of advising
Follow these tips to get the most out of your advising session:
- Be sure you’ve submitted your AACC application and completed requirements for determining placement before your advising session.
- Write down your list of questions so you get the answers you need.
- Bring your high school transcript, SAT, ACT, AP and IB scores.
- If you’re a transfer student, unofficial transcripts from your prior institutions will help your advisor in planning your classes. However, an official copy of your transcripts from all previous academic institutions must be sent to AACC's records office for credit evaluation.
- If you know the degree you'd like to pursue, review the program planner.
