Advising Service Requests (No Meeting Required)!
We understand that taking the time to meet with an advisor can be difficult while balancing several priorities. Wondering how many courses you need to graduate? Trying to figure out your first classes? Thinking of changing your program, but don't know how many classes that would take? Check out our forms page to see if your advising needs are something we can take care of behind the scenes and send your way.
International, ELA, and Pre-college Advising
There are some programs at Edmonds College that provide their own advising services. While we are happy to assist with general questions, please refer to the information below to learn more about advising for your program.
Office of International Programs (OIP)
Students on a non-immigrant visa (F-1) who have applied through Office of International Programs will participate in separate advising and orientation. Please visit edmonds.edu/international for more information or contact oip_desk@edmonds.edu
English Language Aquisition (ELA)
Students interested in improving English skills with ELA classes should work directly with the ELA program to get started. An ELA advisor will assist you with signing up for your classes.
Pre-College / High School Completion
Our pre-college programs, including HS+, GED, Adult High School, EdCAP, i-Best, and International High School programs provide their own advising services. Please contact the pre-college office or a specific advisor for more information on how to register for one of these programs.
