Covid-19 Update

Campus remains closed through fall quarter. Some student services are currently being offered through Zoom Virtual Lobbies. Visit Zoom Virtual Lobbies for more details.

Academic Advising

If you have an assigned faculty advisor, it is best to schedule an appointment with your faculty advisor. Many instructors have career experience, are knowledgeable about campus resources, and can help you reach your educational goals through degree planning. If you have an advising question, feel free to approach your instructor or request a faculty advisor Links to an external site..

If this is your first quarter at Highline, you are enrolled in Pre-nursing, or you need more immediate advising assistance, Academic Pathway Advisors can assist you. To schedule an appointment with an Academic Pathway Advisor or attend drop-in advising, visit the Advising web site.
