Advising
Our advising staff provides specialized educational advising by guiding accepted, "in-program" Allied Health and Nursing students to successfully complete an Associate in Science Degree or Bachelor of Science Degree or Certificate Program. For the associate level health sciences programs, attendance at a Health Sciences Information Session is mandatory, before scheduling an application review appointment with either the Allied Health or student success coaches.
Associate in Science students are expected to complete their educational goals and be professionally marketable in a much shorter period of time than many others. This site is dedicated to provide program specific information that will help students succeed in their pursuit of Valencia's Associate in Science, Bachelor's and/or Certificate programs.
To better serve students who have not yet been accepted into a limited access program, we have partnered with Enrollment Services and the campus advising centers. It is important to note that Valencia College students not yet accepted into their desired health sciences program should work closely with their campus based student success coaches (Check Academic Profile in Atlas for assigned student success coach).
It is highly recommended that current students meet with their "pending" student success coach before submitting their Health Sciences Program application. The College Advising locations are:
- East 5-210
- Lake Nona 1-149
- Osceola, 2-140
- Poinciana 1-117
- West SSB-110
- Winter Park 1-210
Prospective students who have not yet applied to Valencia College may meet with campus based student success coaches at:
- East 5-230
- Osceola 2-125
- West SSB 2016
- Winter Park 1-214
While Valencia College does not require a Covid-19 vaccination at this time, Health Sciences programs are required by the state of Florida and national accrediting bodies to deliver instruction and validate skills in clinical healthcare settings. These clinical facilities set the compliance rules (i.e., immunizations, drug screenings, background checks, and fitness for duty) that students must meet to be eligible for instruction at these sites. At this time, If you decide not to receive a Covid-19 vaccination (or any other required immunization or screening), you may not be able to complete a Health Science Program. If you have any questions about these requirements, please request to speak to our Compliance Manager at Health Science Compliance.

Students who have already received an eligible Associate degree and are seeking a specialized program of study to supplement their associate degree may seek an Advanced Technical Certificate.
