Academic Advising

RPCC offers students guidance on course selection and academic goal planning through academic advising services.  Review the resources by topic below to learn more about meeting with an advisor.


New Student Orientation

If you are starting your first semester at RPCC we encourage you to attend one of our New Student Orientation sessions.  You can view the available days and register on our New Student Orientation page.


Success Coaches

If you are starting your first semester at RPCC, or you are returning to RPCC after not attending for more than one semester, you may schedule an advising appointment with a Success Coach. A Success Coach can assist you with selecting a plan of study that is consistent with your academic and/or career goals. Success Coaches can also provide help with and/or information about the following:

  • Course selection and scheduling
  • Placement testing
  • College policies and procedures
  • Personal issues that may be interfering with academic success
  • Career concerns
  • Transfer issues/resources
  • Study skills information
  • Time management
  • Decision-making skills

Faculty Advising

All RPCC students are assigned to a Faculty Advisor in their second semester at RPCC. If you are a continuing RPCC student (meaning that you have attended RPCC for one or more consecutive semesters) your Faculty Advisor can assist you with scheduling your courses.Once you are assigned to a Faculty Advisor, that Faculty Advisor will reach out to you via email. If you do not know who your Faculty Advisor is, you can view your Advisor in Lola under Academic Profile or you can log into Canvas.
