Advising
Academic Advising
Academic advisors help all students understand and navigate program requirements and college policies. In addition, they support students in developing their academic, career, and transfer plans.
New students are advised by professional academic advisors who review placement, enrollment steps, and create a first semester schedule of courses. New students can schedule appointments through their myAdmissions portal Orientation tab when it is available for their selected start term.
Current students are assigned to faculty advisors or professional academic advisors who can assess academic progress and recommend course selections. Be sure to check out the Advisor Card on your myBC3 page to view and connect with your assigned advisor.
Advising staff are available within the Student Success Center, Academic Center for Enrichment at Main Campus and at each of BC3's additional locations. Meet the professional advising team below!
