Academic Advising
Academic advising is essential to support your success.
We are here to help you define and reach your academic and career goals.
Academic advising is about your success.
We are here to support you in reaching your academic goals. Whether you are selecting a program, planning to transfer, or somewhere in between, we are here to help!
Schedule an appointment to meet one-on-one with an Advisor, or drop-in to the Welcome Center for help with a quick question.
New Students
Welcome to HFC! To begin the advising and registration process, please sign up for a Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR) session before your first semester. You will do this through the “Upcoming Events” card in the student portal at my.hfcc.edu.
Current Students
You can find your assigned advisor’s name and contact information on the "Success Team" card in the student portal at my.hfcc.edu. Schedule an appointment through the "My Appointments" card. During priority registration, we recommend you book your time slot in advance.
Note: If you are seeking counseling about personal issues or want to have an in-depth conversation about career choices, consider our Counseling office.
Drop-in Advising
Drop-in advising is offered in the Welcome Center Advising Office on a first-come, first-serve basis, and is ideal for quick questions or double-checking information. Because the session is short and you will not meet with your dedicated Advisor, drop-in sessions cannot assist you with long-term planning, academic success planning, transfer questions, and other in-depth services offered during scheduled appointments.
Planning to transfer?
If your goal is to graduate from HFC and transfer to a four-year university, great! Let us help you set a path for success from the beginning of your time at HFC.
