Advising Day
Pathway Advising Day
Pathway Advising Days occur once during fall, winter and spring quarters when faculty suspend their daytime classes so you have more time to meet with them in their role as advisor. This provides you a chance to review your academic plan and make sure you are moving toward your goal.
Advising Day is an opportunity to meet with an advisor to fulfill your mandatory advising requirements. All YVC students with 30 or fewer college level credits must meet with an advisor during at least two quarters. If you do not meet with an advisor, you may be blocked from registering for classes.
Your advisor will call or email you to schedule an advising time and a method for meeting with you. You can also drop in on Advising Day to the location where your pathway is meeting. If you do not hear from an advisor, please drop into your pathway advising session. All day classes are cancelled on Advising Day.
Students: Please confirm your contact information is up to date in your student profile in ctcLink. Learn how to update your personal information in ctcLink.
Don’t know who your advisor is? Your pathway advisor is listed in ctcLink. View our tutorial for help finding your advisor. If you are still unsure who your advisor is, do not hear from your advisor, or have more questions, please contact the Counseling & Advising Center by phone at 509.574.4956, or by email at counseling@yvcc.edu.
Advising is not mandatory for students who have more than 30 college-level credits (100 level and above).
Running Start students should check the Running Start Canvas class for Running Start
advising sessions. Students may attend a pathway drop-in session. If students receive
an email from a pathway advisor, they should attend that appointment as well.
