Academic Advising
Advising services are delivered by both staff advisors and faculty members and are available at all campuses as well as by phone & online to support a student’s academic goals. Academic advising is critical to your success, satisfaction, retention, and graduation from Mohave College. The role of an advisor is to help define and shape academic plans to meet educational goals by preparing academic progress plans and selecting classes. They have access to resources that will provide students with options as well as direction in various career choices. According to the students’ needs and educational goals, they will assist in creating a plan to stay on track for graduation.
New Students: First-time freshmen and non-degree seeking students can receive assistance from an Enrollment Navigator via phone or email. You can find your local Enrollment Navigator on the Admissions page.
Military Veteran Students: Veteran students may contact the Veterans Advisor and learn more on the Military and Veteran Services page. To schedule an appointment with the Veterans Advisor or the New Student Advisor, please use this scheduler.
Continuing Students: You may enroll in courses for which you have completed the prerequisites without an advisor’s signature. However, you must meet in-person, online or by phone with an advisor if you:
- Receive Financial Aid
- Select courses for which you have not met prerequisites
- Change your degree, major, or catalog year
- Add or drop a class
- Need help reviewing your academic progress
- Plan to transfer to a university
- Experience academic difficulties
- Are completing your degree or certificate program (you should meet with an advisor at least one semester before commencement)
Succeeding at Mohave College: You are responsible for knowing the degree requirements and for ensuring that the courses in which you enroll will meet those requirements.
