The academic advisors at the College are prepared to provide support services designed to assist students in obtaining what they need to make knowledgeable decisions about their academic future. The best time to see an advisor is after admission, but before registering for classes each semester. It is in the best interest of the student to maintain contact with their advisor throughout their period of study at Cecil. The student and advisor work out an appropriate choice of courses based on the students results of the skills assessments, past academic performance, curriculum choice and outside commitments. The advisor can assist the student in staying on track. Students should also seek advice from their advisor if they:
- are having academic issues that have interfered with success in the academic area, or
- are contemplating a change in career education goals, or
- are nearing graduation in order to determine graduation eligibility.

Students are encouraged to work with their academic advisor when selecting a major course of study. Students who choose a degree or certificate program upon admission to the College must follow the program in effect for the academic year for which they are first admitted.
