What is advising?

Academic advising is more than choosing classes. It is a collaborative relationship that helps you:
Clarify your academic and career goals
Understand your degree requirements and college policies
Plan your coursework strategically
Use Degree Works to track progress toward graduation
Plan for transfer to a four-year university
Understand how course choices may impact financial aid
Navigate challenges and find support
Your academic advisor is a key partner in your success, offering guidance, resources, and a listening ear throughout your time at BPCC.

What to expect from your advisor

Your academic advisor will:
Be accessible during business hours and responsive (within 24-48 hours)
Know curriculum, degree requirements, and college policies
Help you clarify and reach your academic and career goals
Partner with you in planning a course schedule that aligns with your goals, interests, and responsibilities
Refer you to campus services and resources when needed
Respect your privacy and share information only with relevant professionals when it directly supports your best interests.
Support you as you take ownership of your academic decisions.

What advisors expect from you

Students are expected to be full participants in academic advising and thus to be both prepared for and engaged in the advising experience. The academic landscape can change, and while advisors provide guidance, students are responsible for understanding degree requirements and college policies related to their academic progress.
Attend your academic advising appointment on time
Check Degree Works for completed and remaining requirements
Come prepared with questions and course ideas
Bring unofficial transcripts if you’re transferring and want to use previous credits
Be honest about your goals, interests, and any challenges
Follow up on advisor recommendations and referrals
Stay in contact throughout the semester, not just during registration
Take ownership of your academic path and progress

How to prepare for your appointment

Before your academic advising appointment:
Review your Degree Works audit
Look up potential classes in LoLA (the student registration system)
Check your registration eligibility and any holds
Write down questions or concerns
Reflect on how your current degree program and courses are going
During your meeting:
Be open to discussing your academic and career goals
Talk about accomplishments or obstacles you’re facing and possible resources
Take notes and ask for clarification if anything is unclear
After your appointment:
Register for classes
Follow through on referrals or action steps
Reach out with any follow-up questions
Work with your academic advisor to adjust your plan if needed

Transfer Students

Check for course equivalencies
Submitting transcripts from another institution is not required. However, if you plan to use prior credits from a previous institution, please have an unofficial copy of your transcript available for your advising appointment.
Use the Override Request form for permission to register into a BPCC course where the course prerequisite was met at another institution.

Visiting Students

If you're taking classes at BPCC but attend another college, here’s how to register — especially if a course requires a prerequisite.
If the course needs a prerequisite:
Fill out the Override Request Form.
Complete one form for each course you're trying to register for.
If you're approved, you’ll get an email letting you know you can sign up.

Not sure if your past courses meet the requirement?
Check the Course Equivalency Guide to find out.

If the course doesn’t have a prerequisite or placement score:
Once you have met all the admission requirements, you should be able to register right away — no extra steps needed.

Email Tips

Check your BPCC email regularly to receive important information. When emailing your academic advisor or other BPCC Faculty & Staff:
Use your BPCC email account
Include a clear subject line (e.g., “Course registration question”)
Conclude your email with your full name and BPCC ID number (e.g., “Thank you, First Name, Last Name, LXXXXXXXX”)
Be clear, concise, and specific in your communication
Allow 1–2 business days for a response before following up
