Academic Advising

Academic advising is an integral part of academic planning, reaching your career goals and graduating. Academic advisors and success coaches (formerly navigators) are assigned to all degree-seeking students.

Academic advising is the key to:

• Planning your course of study
• Choosing the right classes
• Reaching your educational and career goals
• More efficient course registration

Students can make an appointment with their assigned academic advisor or success coach through Navigate or by contacting him/her directly. Students are encouraged to schedule appointments early and regularly.

Learn more about using the Navigate system here.

How do I make changes to my schedule?

Students make registration changes through Navigate, where students can register, drop, or withdraw from courses. Students are encouraged to speak with their academic advisor or success coach (formerly navigator) prior to making any registration changes.

Exceptions include:

• Undecided students will not be able to utilize the registration tools in Navigate until they have declared a major. Counseling Services can provide career counseling to help undecided students declare a major.
• Students with registration holds will not be able to register until the hold is lifted. Students can view their holds through the TTC Portal. Most holds are related to missing admission requirements, academic suspension, or an outstanding balance.
• Students wishing to take more than 18 credit hours in a semester must seek seat override approval from their program dean.
• Students hoping to register for a course that has met capacity must seek seat override approval from the course department head.
• Students wanting to register for a course after the last day to add a course for the term must seek seat override approval from the dean of the course.

Prerequisites

Many courses require prerequisite courses and/or test scores. The registration system will automatically block registration when a prerequisite course and/or placement test score has not been successfully met. 

Your academic advisor will check for prerequisites and/or corequisites when helping you create an academic plan. Prerequisite and corequisite requirements can also be found in the Course Description section of the Academic Catalog and online Course Search.

1. Click Search for Sections.
2. Select a term from the drop-down menu.
3. Select a subject from the drop-down menu.
4. Fill in the course number.
5. Click Submit.
6. Click on the course in the Section Name and Title column.
7. The course description and prerequisites will display in a new window.
