Every student at HACC is assigned to an academic advisor based upon major or academic program. Some advisors are professors, and some are professional advisors in the Student Affairs department. Meeting with your academic advisor is an important part of academic planning. Here are some details about academic advising from HACC’s Advising Services.

You and your advisor may use planning tools such as Degree Works audits and plans, program guides and academic maps. You can find all of these tools on hacc.edu and in MyHACC. In fact, if you're using financial aid, you are required to have an educational plan in Degree Works, HACC's degree auditing software.

When thinking about career development and academic planning, we’re often advised: “follow your passion.” Here is a thought-providing video from Benjamin Todd, speaking at TEDxYouth@Tallinn, advising us to reconsider that advice. Video TEDxYouth @ Tallinn [youtu.be]
