Advisers’ schedules vary by location to accommodate meeting with students during day and evening hours. To schedule an appointment with an adviser by program or by location, visit www.npc.edu/advising.
Academic advisers are available at every campus and center to provide valuable guidance on how prospective, current and former students can reach educational and career goals. Advisers can then help you match those goals with program offerings for various career fields or university transfer and develop a degree plan.
Advisers can provide assistance in a variety of areas, including:
- Educational planning, including degree or certificate plans;
- Evaluating results of placement testing;
- Selecting and registering for classes;
- Obtaining forms, including transcript requests and graduation application;
- University transfer assistance;
- Processing petitions and appeals;
- Utilizing alternative learning options;
- Receiving VA benefits;
- Providing information about financial aid, scholarships and work study opportunities;
- Adult education and GED testing;
- Information about student activities.
Prior to registering for classes, a student should meet with an academic adviser to discuss career and educational goals. Together, you’ll develop a degree plan, which lists the courses needed to reach those goals.
A degree plan is also required for federal financial aid and most scholarship applications.
You Must Declare a Degree/Major
Registration will be blocked for students who have earned 12 or more credit hours and have not declared a degree or major. The “advisement hold” gives students an opportunity to plan classes, ensuring they are on the right path toward a major(s) and allows the adviser to check student academic progress. Only after the student has met with their academic adviser will the hold be removed to register for classes.
Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an adviser at the earliest opportunity to avoid registration concerns.
