Counseling/Advisement sessions help students to determine their educational goal, plan a first semester schedule, and prepare a "Student Educational Plan". The Advisement session occurs after the student completes the assessment testing session or requests evaluation of Alternative Evidence.

Now you can select one of the following three methods to complete the Student Advisement:
It is important that you have your Matriculation placement results before you do the Online or Group advisement session. [How do I get My results?] If you do not have test scores please fill out the online re-score request form.

1. Do the Online Advisement. The Online Advisement will take approximately 45 minutes to complete and must be completed in one sitting in order to get credit. When the counselor (Sara) quits talking you should click on the NEXT button to continue with the Advisement.
