Academic Advisement

After completion of the New Student Orientation, all new students are required to attend a group advising session. During the group advising session, an academic advisor is available to assist students with academic and career planning, choosing appropriate courses and register for classes. Students are encouraged to schedule appointments with the same academic advisor each semester. Advisors are available on campus each weekday and evening by appointment and through Virtual Drop-In Advising. During peak registration, advisors will only be available through Virtual Drop-In Advising. Students are encouraged to see their academic advisor before registration begins each term to obtain the maximum benefit from the advisement opportunities.

Students should meet with an academic advisor regularly to ensure they are continuing on the right path toward completing their educational goal. Students are encouraged to meet with the same advisor each semester. Early advisement and registration help ensure the best selection of courses. After advisement, students who are in good academic standing with PHSC use the College's online registration system (WISE) to add or drop classes. All students, regardless of academic standing, can utilize WISE to pay course fees by published deadlines, and update personal information at any time.

Students using veteran's benefits should schedule an appointment with their Veteran Affairs Advisor.
