Plan with your Advisor

Advisors help you identify possible courses for the upcoming quarters and provide advice and guidance to help you meet your educational goals and plans. 

  • If you are working towards a Peninsula College two-year degree, one year certificate or the Bachelor in Applied Science degree, you are required to meet with an advisor prior to registration each quarter.
  • You are strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor if you are not seeking a degree, but are completing pre-requisites needed for a degree at another college or university.
  • If you are taking classes for professional development, personal enrichment or working towards PC Mini-certificates, you are welcome to meet with an advisor, but it is not required.

If you are unsure if you are degree seeking, call Pirate Central at (360) 417-6340.

New students:

Once you have applied, and completed placement and orientation, you may contact Pirate Central to schedule an advising appointment to meet with a professional advisor located in the Student Development Center.

Advisors are available to help you:

  • Explore your career and educational goals and plans 
  • Select your courses for your first quarter at PC 
  • Develop an educational pathway from your first quarter to degree completion.
  • Plan for transfer to a four-year college or university 
  • Refer to other college services and resources 
  • With online registration 

Continuing students:   

After your first quarter, each student is assigned to a faculty advisor.  

  • Each quarter you will receive an email that includes: 
    • Your assigned faculty advisor information 
    • Advising/registration instructions
  • Each quarter you will need to meet with your faculty advisor during Advising Week to:
    • Get your registration PIN # 
    • Get the date/time you can register

You can meet with a professional advisor in Student Development during other periods of the quarter should you need to add/drop a class, discuss transfer plans, or have general advising questions.

Drop-in Advising:

A Professional Advisor in Student Development is available each quarter during the first week of the quarter to help you make a changes to your schedule or to answer quick questions. 

Running Start Students: 

  • You will meet with a professional advising team member (assignment based on high school) the entire time you are a Running Start student  
  • You will meet with an advisor during Early Advising, which begins approximately one week prior to Advising Week 
  • You will need to meet with a professional advisor to make changes to their schedule
  • You will receive an email notification reminding them of the process each quarter.

Students on Academic Probation: 

  • Students who earn a cumulative GPA below a 2.0 for two consecutive quarters will be placed on academic probation. 
  • You will work specifically with the probation advisor, not your previous faculty advisor or Running Start team
  • If you earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher, you will return to good academic standing and will go back to working with you faculty or Running Start advisor.
