Advising Services

Helping you seize your opportunities.

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

Advisors assist you in making informed academic choices and developing effective educational plans to meet your goals. We provide assistance with transition into VCC programs as well as transfers to other post-secondary institutions. We are committed to providing accurate, consistent information in a supportive environment.

If you are not certain if your needs are better met with an academic advisor or a counsellor, please consult this page. Once you have made your decision to meet with an academic advisor, please book an appointment online or call 604.871.7000, option 2. ‌
