What Is Drop-In Advising For?

Drop-in Advising sessions are designed to assist you with the following types of quick questions:

  • General and what-if questions about enrollment and registration
  • Course questions
  • One-quarter plan
  • ctcLink questions
  • Registration questions
  • Transfer questions and resources
  • Student resource questions
  • Personal questions that may impact academic success

Drop-in Advising is not intended to take the place of an appointment, for example, in instances of crafting a full education plan or discussion of in-depth academic and/or personal concerns (such as an academic performance plan). If you do come to drop-in advising with circumstances that are outside of the scope of a quick interaction, we will assist you with what we can and show you how to schedule an appointment with your designated academic advisor/get you connected to other BC resources.
