Welcome to Academic Advising

Academic Advising is Your Partner in Academic Success There’s more to academic advising than choosing your courses and creating your educational plan.  Keeping in touch with your academic advisor can help you stay on track in order to achieve your goals.

Academic Advisors can help you with:

• Creating a plan to meet your academic goals
• Skill-coaching in time management, self-advocacy, goal clarification, study-skills and the development of personal plans for academic success
• Determining your transfer options
• Providing information about campus resources and services
• Balancing school with work and family commitments

Your academic advisor helps you understand your degree plan and makes recommendations on course selection each semester.  Your advisor will help you stay on track as you work towards your educational goals.  At CSN, students are required to meet with their academic advisor at the completion of 15, 30, and 45 semester credit hours.

When you enroll at the College of Southern Nevada, you’ll have an academic advisor who’s firmly in your corner.

Getting Started with Academic Advising

Students can schedule appointments with an academic advisor on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 8:30 AM - 4 PM OR can have a quick check-in with an academic advisor through Express Advising (first come, first served - no appointment) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM.

• To schedule an appointment, follow the instructions under the  "How to Schedule an Appointment" headline below.
• To meet with an advisor during  Express Advising, students should check into the advising queue for their preferred campus. Students can choose the “Academic Advising by Phone” queue or the “In-person Academic Advising” queue. When you reach the front of the queue for "Academic Advising by Phone," you will receive a phone call from an academic advisor. If you have chosen "In-person Academic Advising," you will receive a text message alerting you when it is time to report to the Academic Advising office. Express Advising sessions are limited to the following services:
  • Course Recommendations
  • Advising Hold Removals
  • General Questions
  • Campus Referrals

Health Program students can make an appointment here.
