Academic Advising
Set your goals, and let your advisor help you reach them.
Academic advisors assist you with information and resources you need to choose a major, set a degree plan, and schedule the classes you need to get to graduation. If you’re a future student, find your advising information here.
Finding your academic advisor information
Your advisor may be a faculty member or an advisor in a Divisional Advising Center or satellite campus.
You will find your assigned academic advisor’s information in several places:
- GTC4me > Student Planning > My Progress
Your advisor’s name will be listed in the top right hand corner of the Student Planning screen. - Blackboard > Starfish
Your advisor’s name and e-mail will be listed in Starfish under your Success Network. - Full list of academic advisors
Meeting with your advisor
- It is to your advantage to see your advisor before you register for classes so that you can be sure you’re on target to meet your goals.
- To get an advising appointment that meets your schedule, plan ahead and schedule an appointment to meet with your advisor.
- Prepare for your advising appointment by reviewing the requirements for your major. Also, you should create a schedule, which includes school, work, and family, so that you and your advisor can plan the best schedule for you.

Admissions and Registration Center
The Orientation Center assists new students that may have questions or concerns before they register for their semester courses. Orientation Specialists advise non-degree seeking students (transient, career development, Early College students and ESL). The Orientation Specialists also assist new students who are planning to attend or reapplying to Greenville Technical College prior to visiting their Planning and Advising for Student Success (PASS) session.
