Advising Services
Academic Planning and Support, College Success and Life Skills
Advising services are available to assist students with course selection, education and career planning as well as supporting students as they strengthen their college success and life skills.
The advising model at Valencia College has transitioned to Student Success Coaching. For academic planning, personal development and goal setting, meet with a Student Success Coach.
Before you meet with a Student Success Coach, we recommend reviewing the General Advising Guide.
This guide provides a checklist with action items based on your degree and number of credits. It is a helpful resource to review before connecting with a student success coach and to help you prepare for your meeting.
