Meeting with an Academic Success Advisor

Academic advising is most effective when students and advisors have time to set goals and work together to plan for success. Therefore, we encourage students to plan ahead and schedule advising appointments, which are typically available in all but the busiest registration times.

There are several student populations that work with faculty or staff advisors outside of the centralized advising office. These groups include:

• All student athletes should meet with the Athletics Advisor, John Bowler. Choose "Athletics Advisor" from the "I Know My Advisor" menu to find his booking link.
• Students who have been admitted to selective Health Professions programs will work with their program director for registration and advising. 
• Students who are in certain Career and Technical programs will meet with their program director for advising. See the "I Know My Major" menu for more information.
• Non-degree seeking, Early College (still in high school), and current UIUC students should work primarily with the Admissions office for their registration needs. Contact the Admissions office at registration@parkland.edu or by phone at 217/351-2482

Walk-In Wednesday

Can't wait for an appointment? Advisors are typically available for walk-in meetings on Wednesdays between 9 am – 4 pm, though hours and availability are subject to change. Walk-ins are extremely limited from 12–1 pm. Walk-ins are first-come, first-served, and may be subject to wait times. If you are not able to come in-person, please call Academic Advising at 217/351-2219 to inquire about a virtual option.

Upcoming Wednesdays with Reduced Walk-in Availability:

From August 4–22, Academic Advising meetings will be available by walk-in only. Scheduled meetings will resume the week of August 25.
