Highline College Resources for Students - Fall 2021

Covid-19 Update

Fall quarter, many offices will be open Monday and Wednesday, 10:00am-6:00pm, and Tuesday and Thursday, 10:00am-3:00pm. Some offices require appointments. Online Zoom Virtual Lobbies will continue. For more information, see our list of On-Campus Student Services.

Academic Advising

Advising is a collaborative partnership between you and your advisor. Your advisor can teach you how to find information to make the most of your college experience. In your first advising meetings, you will create a plan together for courses and/or a degree based on your educational goals. Your advisor can connect you to a network of resources and support services whether you are facing obstacles or just need more information.  It is suggested to meet with your advisor once per quarter.
