Academic Advising

Meeting with an academic advisor is a great way to help students begin the decision-making process for selecting the correct courses for the student’s academic goals. Setting goals will help ensure student success toward completion of courses, certificates or degree programs, or possible transfer to a college or university. Whether you have chosen an academic or technical path of study, the Blinn College District is here to help every step of the way.

Thank you for choosing the Blinn College District for your academic journey! We know selecting a degree path and choosing the right courses can be a daunting task, so we are here to guide you through your transition to college and empower you to make informed academic decisions. Students are highly encouraged to visit with an academic advisor by attending New Student Registration (new students), scheduling an on-campus, telephone, or email appointment, or by stopping by one of our many locations.

You should have the following information completed before visiting with an academic advisor:

Active Blinn College District application
Test scores or test score exemptions
High school transcript or GED certificate
Prior college transcripts, if applicable (includes dual credit)

These students must meet with an academic advisor before registering for courses:

Students who are not college-ready (those who don’t meet the benchmarks on any part of the state-required assessment test)
Students on academic probation
Students on scholastic suspension

All students being advised must be prepared to show the advisor a valid photo ID.
