What is Academic Advising?

At Â黨ÐÇ¿Õmv, Academic Advising is your launchpad to success!

Advisors are more than class schedulers — we’re your partners in academic confidence and college navigation. In your advising meetings, we will:

• Plan Your Degree & Program – Understand your requirements and map the best path to graduation.
• Build Class Schedules – Create schedules that fit your goals and your life.
• Explore Majors & Goals – Talk through your interests, strengths, and career options.
• Check In for Success – Meet regularly to stay on track, adjust plans, and keep moving forward.
• Connect You to Resources – Link you to tutoring, financial aid, career services, and more.

Tip: Don’t wait until there’s a problem. Check in with your advisor early and often!

How to Meet with an Advisor

Appointments – Current students can schedule an appointment through the Ìýin Student Profile.

New Student Orientation

• Fall Students: You’ll receive an email with instructions to register for a New Student Orientation session over the summer. Orientation is required before meeting with an advisor and registering for classes. Click here to learn more about Orientation.

• Spring or Summer Students: If you have not yet completed Online Orientation, please do so before meeting with your advisor.

When to Meet With Your Advisor In Your First Year

Summer (Orientation)

• Register for Fall classes during Orientation or over the summer.

• (Some high school students may register in Spring during on-site high school registrations.)

• Schedule your next advising appointment for the first or second week of October (after midterm grades).

October / November Check-In

• Review how the semester is going.

• Connect with resources if needed.

• Register for Spring classes.

• Schedule your next advising appointment for after March 1.

March / April Check-In (for Summer and beyond)

• Discuss Summer courses (if not already done during Spring registration).

• Evaluate academic progress.

• Open year-long scheduling (Fall/Spring/Summer). If on track, register for all upcoming terms.

What to Do Before Your Advising Appointment

• Apply for Admission – Submit your admissions application.

• Submit Transcripts – Send official high school and/or college transcripts to LMC before your advising appointment. Transfer students should have official transcripts evaluated to get the most out of their advising session.

• Prepare Questions & Goals – Think about your academic and career goals so your advisor can help create the best plan for you.

Current Students

We recommend meeting with your advisor at least once a year to stay on track. Schedule an appointment if you need to:

• Register for courses

• Add or drop a class

• Withdraw from a course

• Review or update your academic plan
