Advising Learning Outcomes

MCC's advising process helps students choose an educational pathway, create a personalized academic plan, meet program requirements, access support resources, explore co-curricular opportunities, and develop skills for success beyond college. Through individualized, student-centered advising, students work toward achieving these outcomes during their first three full-time semesters.

Students will

- Choose their pathway by gaining information regarding their education, career, financial, and personal intentions
- Develop and maintain a semester-by-semester pathway plan, which specifies courses that will lead to credentials and meet career, transfer and financial goals
- Assume responsibility for meeting academic program requirements
- Create and follow a success plan, when needed, for early utilization of learning resources to support degree completion
- Engage in co-curricular opportunities related to pathway
- Develop habits of mind to successfully navigate the world beyond MCC

Advising is individualized and learner-centered. It is purposeful and planned. These outcomes are progressive; not every advisement session needs to focus on every outcome, but through the MCC integrated advising model, students will have experienced all outcomes by the end of their third full time term.
