Academic Advising: Your Pathway to Success
At Monroe Community College (MCC), we believe that academic advising is a cornerstone of your educational journey. Our dedicated Success Coaches are here to support you every step of the way, ensuring that you have the guidance and resources you need to achieve your academic goals, complete your program, and take the next steps toward transfer or your future career.
What to Expect: Your Success Coach
As a matriculated student, you will be paired with a Success Coach who will be your primary or secondary contact for course advisement each semester. Your Success Coach will be assigned based on your chosen pathway and will serve as your go-to person for guidance, support, and advising from the moment you enroll until you graduate.
Your Success Coach will help you navigate course selections, ensure you're staying on track with your goals, and offer advice to keep you progressing toward graduation. They will also help connect you with other valuable campus resources as needed, supporting your success both academically and personally.
Schedule Your Advising Appointment
Before registering for classes each semester, it's important to schedule an appointment with your assigned Success Coach. You can easily find your Success Coach through Degree Works. Your Success Coach/Advisor is listed at the top, and you can make an appointment through Starfish, our scheduling platform.
To access Starfish, ensure your myMCC account is set up. Once logged in, you can book your advising session and get the personalized support you need.
Why Academic Advising Matters
“Academic advising is integral to fulfilling the teaching and learning mission of higher education. Through academic advising, students learn to become members of their higher education community, to think critically about their roles and responsibilities as students, and to prepare to be educated citizens of a democratic society and a global community. Academic advising engages students beyond their own world views, while acknowledging their individual characteristics, values, and motivations as they enter, move through, and exit the institution. Regardless of the diversity of our institutions, our students, our advisors, and our organizational structures, academic advising has three components: curriculum (what advising deals with), pedagogy (how advising does what it does), and student learning outcomes (the result of academic advising).” (NACADA Preamble).
We’re excited to be part of your journey and look forward to helping you succeed at MCC!
