Advising, Career, and Transfer Services

Advising, Career and Transfer Services provides individual assistance with academic and career planning, career decision making, and study skills to currently enrolled students. During the first semester, each student seeking a degree or certificate, who has selected an academic program of study, or is undeclared, is assigned a designated advisor through our Advisor Connect program.  Advisor Connect is an interactive process in which the advisor partners with their student to set and achieve academic goals, acquire relevant information and support services, and make meaningful decisions consistent with each student's interests, goals, abilities and completion requirements. The office provides information about academic program requirements, College policies, and transfer institutions. The career advisors assist students with the career discernment process through the use of career assessments and credit bearing courses in career and life planning, and job search techniques. Assistance is also available to currently enrolled students in resume writing and interviewing skills. The office has an online job posting system, College Central Network, which is used by area employers to advertise full- and part-time jobs, internships, and cooperative education opportunities through an online job database.  For more information, please call 443-412-2301 or visit Advising, Career, and Transfer Services website.
