About the ACT Center

The ACT Center's Educational & Career Planners are here to help you identify a Pathway and program of study that aligns with your educational, career, and transfer goals. We’ll help you create a degree plan to keep you on track to graduate and help you find resources to achieve your goals for the future.

Appointments ensure one-on-one time with an Educational & Career Planner for you to:

  • Compare different degrees in detail
  • Create a degree plan
  • Begin transfer planning
  • Receive an unofficial review of transcripts from other colleges

Walk-in advising is for answers to quick questions, such as:

  • Degree plan questions
  • Check on graduation readiness
  • Other "quick" questions

Mission

The ACT Center provides students with the knowledge they need to identify educational goals, develop an appropriate educational plan, and monitor progress toward achieving those goals. The ACT Center believes that:

  • Educational advising is an integral part of a comprehensive student success program.
  • Student/faculty interaction is an important factor in student success, and educational advising provides for such interaction.
  • The college is responsible for providing varied approaches to advising that serve the diverse student population.
  • The individual student is ultimately responsible for their educational and life decisions.
