Connect with a Faculty Advisor 

ACC provides faculty advising alongside academic advising, which is helpful for transfer-bound students. Faculty advisors use their subject matter and career field expertise to help students in exploring and choosing a major in a subject area of interest, clarifying goals for degree completion and transfer, and identifying potential career pathways. The faculty advising program hosts regular events aligned with these objectives. Mark your calendars for the upcoming event ‘Navigating the Liberal Arts,’ scheduled for March 22 at ACC’s Highland Campus.


Connect with a faculty advisor today.
