See an advisor

Advisors at South Mountain are available on a walk-in (no appointment) basis. It is best to come in well before you plan to enroll. Many classes and programs fill up long before the semester begins and often there are additional steps that need to be completed after the first meeting with an advisor. There are several things a student can do in order to get the most from a meeting with an advisor:

  • Have official transcripts sent to South Mountain from all colleges and schools previously attended. Some programs also require high school/GED transcripts for admission.
  • Obtain a copy of the current college catalog and read it. The catalog gives the official information about all of the academic programs, registration policies and procedures.
  • Read the current class schedule. It has all of the important dates, class times, phone numbers and office hours.
  • Think of questions to ask before your visit.

A note for students who have not chosen a degree or certificate program: 70% of students start as undecided. Your Advisor can help you choose courses that will fit into most degrees and give you an introduction into your areas of interest.
