VISION:
Academic Advising is an ongoing, intentional collaboration between students, faculty and staff that empowers each student to succeed.
MISSION:
Academic Advisors teach, guide and support students to develop and achieve academic, career and personal goals.
Getting Started
In order to assist new students in successfully transitioning to college and to increase the likelihood of academic success and degree completion, SFCC offers a New Student Orientation (NSO) to familiarize students with programs and resources available at the college. New students are required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for classes. These services are designed to keep new students on track, enhance their student success and improve degree completion. For more information about this or upcoming NSO dates, please call 505-428-1275.
