Academic Advising
All SPSCC students are assigned a primary Educational & Career Planner and Running Start students will work with the Educational & Career Planner matched with the school district listed below. Students are also assigned a faculty mentor based on their degree program, if applicable, in addition to Running Start Educational & Career Planners. New students must first complete all the Steps to Enroll before they can meet with their Educational & Career Planner.
Educational & Career Planners are available for walk-in questions during posted hours or for 30-minute, long-term planning appointments which are scheduled via your Compass account. Non-time-sensitive questions and electronic form submissions can be sent to advising@spscc.edu.
