How To Meet With an Academic Advisor:

Drop-In Enrollment Advising

Do you need to meet with an advisor to identifying course options for the upcoming Summer and/or Fall semesters? Come see the MCC Advising Department during drop in days. 

Due to the enrollment and registration focused nature of drop in advising, questions and issues falling outside of Summer and/or Fall enrollment may need to be addressed during a pre-scheduled advising appointment.

Southern & Dobson Campus

 Wednesdays  8:00-6:00

(see your assigned advisor for their individual walk-in day).

Red Mountain Campus

Mesquite Building 
(Enrollment Services Office)

Schedule an Advising Appointment

Advising appointments are one-on-one meetings with an academic advisor and are the perfect venue to meet with an advisor to discuss degree planning, graduation pathway mapping, or complex questions and situations.

Advising appointments are 30-45 minutes in duration and are scheduled in advance. Due to the demand for academic advising appointments, and their one-on-one nature, it is common for appointments to be booked up to one week in advance.
