Welcome to GBCC Academic Advising

Academic Advising at Âé¶¹ÒùÔº Community College helps you plan your college journey. Whether you want a degree, certificate, transfer to a 4-year school, or just take a few classes, we work with you to map out your plan.

What Academic Advising Does

  • Helps you understand your educational goals and options.
  • Guides you in choosing the right classes each semester.
  • Explains differences between high school and college academic expectations.

New to College? How College Advising is Different from High School

High School

  • Schedules are created for you
  • Counselors clearly monitor progress
  • Parents are directly involved

College

  • You choose your classes with guidance from Advisor
  • You are responsible for deadlines and decisions
  • Advisors support – they don’t manage
  • Federal privacy laws limit parent access

Your First Advising Appointment

Once you’ve established English and math placements you can connect with Advising to schedule your First Advising Appointment (call 603-427-7728 or email [email protected] with your availability). 

When you meet with an advisor for the first time, the discussion normally covers:

  • Your long-term goals (graduation, transfer, etc.)
  • Whether you want to attend full-time or part-time
  • Which courses fit your schedule and placement results
  • Different class formats (in-person, remote, online)
  • How to get your textbooks and course materials
  • What your advisor will do in future semesters

Registering for One or Two Classes Only

If you’re not pursuing a full degree but want to take a class or two, you can register as a non-matriculated student. You must contact the Advising & Transfer Center for help.

Financial aid does not apply to non-matriculated students.
