Academic Advisement

Shawnee Community College provides academic advising services to online students through an interactive chatroom called "SCC Dogtalk"

The Online Advisement Process

To schedule an advisement session contact the admissions department via e-mail and request an advisement meeting.

At the first meeting, the advisor will review the student’s application for admission, placement test scores and transcripts from previous institutions.

During this meeting, the advisor will determine the student’s educational background, discuss the student’s educational goals and plan how Shawnee Community College can help the student to achieve these goals in the shortest possible time.

The advisor will explain the placement test results and what they mean to the student’s future studies. In some cases, the advisor may recommend that the student re-test in a subject area.

The academic advisor will help the student to develop an educational plan that may include defining a vocational career or identifying a four-year college or university for transfer. For students who are not yet focused on either a vocational career or transfer school, the advisor can recommend other college services.

The academic advisor will explain the requirements of the program the student has chosen. Academic Advisors are available throughout the year to help students with events that occur further along in the semester.

Students should contact their advisors each semester to track progress toward graduation.
