Academic Advising

Advising at GCCC

GCCC Advising contact information: email advising@gcccks.edu and visit the SCSC Student & Community Services Center.

The GCCC Advising Center is here to support you from your first semester through graduation. Your advisor will help you create an academic plan that fits your goals, keeps you on track, and works with your life.

Every GCCC student is assigned an advisor based on their program or major. Advisor assignments are made after you enroll for the first time. Before registering for classes each semester, all students must meet with their advisor to review their plan and receive approval to enroll.
