Advising and Counseling Services

Advising

Once you have completed your application for admission, you will be assigned an advisor.

Find your advisor by looking in SIS or contacting Student Services

You should schedule a meeting with your assigned advisor as soon as possible to discuss your plan of study and to select your courses for each semester. If you need to add or withdraw from a course, you will want to inform your advisor as well as the financial aid office, if applicable.

Your advisor will work closely with you to ensure your success in college and to enable you to reach college goals.  

If you are designated as a non-curricular student and are taking courses to obtain employment skills, for personal satisfaction, or as a transient student completing a degree at another college, it is recommended that you take advantage of the availability of an advisor or success coach to ensure that you are selecting the appropriate courses and making optimal progress towards your goals.

Dual Enrollment high school students enrolling in college courses should work closely with their guidance counselor, career coach, and the dual enrollment coordinator.

Academic Support

ESCC offers a variety of academic support services to help you succeed.

Request Credit for Prior Learning

Students may request academic credit for prior learning through:

  • Transfer: course work taken at regionally accredited and other approved colleges and universities;
  • Non-collegiate training and experiences such as military service, participation in business/industry training programs, and earned professional certifications and licensures;
  • Taking and achieving acceptable scores on standardized tests and examinations;
  • Taking and achieving acceptable scores on faculty-prepared examinations.
