How to get advising
There are many advising opportunities available. From admission to graduation students are encouraged to meet with an advisor every quarter.
New students are welcomed to Edmonds College with a New Student Advising (NSA) session. During NSA, an advisor will help you to understand your placements, connect your strengths and goals with Edmonds College programs of study, and teach you how to register for classes online. Check out the NSA schedule online.
Lobby drop-in advising is best suited for quick questions and immediate needs to help plan your next steps! Check out the weekly schedule online.
