Academic Advisor with student

At AACC, you’ll never be alone during your educational journey. Whether you’re deciding what courses to take, preparing to transfer to a four-year institution or exploring long-range career options, our excellent team of academic advisors is passionate about helping you achieve your goals. That’s why the next step in your admissions process is to contact an academic advisor.


Personal Advising Sessions

Even if you haven't fully committed to attending AACC, contact an academic advisor. Advisors have a wealth of information that can be enormously helpful during your college selection journey.

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.
