Academic Advising

All students are strongly encouraged to visit with an academic advisor prior to course registration. The following students must see an academic advisor prior to registration:

• Students required to register for any Developmental course
• Students with a ‘hold’ on their registration
• All new, first time in college students

Dual enrollment students must see their high school counselor for registration. Home school students must see NFC Dual Enrollment Coordinator Mary Francis Mauldin (Bldg. 3).

Students are strongly encouraged to visit with an academic advisor prior to course registration for the following reasons:

• ACADEMIC REVIEW: A thorough review of completed academic coursework and academic progress
• CAREER GUIDANCE: Review of completed, current, and future coursework relative to academic, transfer and career goals.
• UP TO DATE INFORMATION: Notification of changes to course schedules, program requirements, transfer requirements, important dates and other information necessary to facilitate timely completion of academic goals.
• STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT: Discussion of non-academic factors (work, family, etc.) and the relationship of each to academic achievement.
