Advising Services

Helping you seize your opportunities.

Your decision to come to school is a life-changing choice. Our program advisors know this, and are committed to helping you plan your studies to get the most out of your time at VCC.

VCC's advisors assist prospective and current students with interpreting college policies and developing effective educational plans that meet with their own academic, career and life goals. They also provide assistance with transition into VCC programs from, and/or transfer to, other post-secondary institutions.
