Academic Advising
You don't have to do it alone. Students who are new to Clark State will be advised during their first two semesters at Clark State by an academic advisor.
An academic advisor will establish the initial contact after placement testing and/or during the New Student Orientation. Throughout the first semester, your advisor will communicate with you via e-mail, request advising appointments, be available for support and then help you with advising for the next semester.
Students in certain majors and/or programs (e.g. TRIO Student Support Services or Accessibility Services) may be referred to their designated advisor immediately after New Student Orientation. The specific co-hort of students who are attempting to apply to the Health Technologies programs will be advised until they have met the specific qualifiers.
