How Pathway Advisors Help

Peak registration starts on January 6, 2025 and ends on January 24, 2025. During peak, the Pathway Advising Department will be offering students express advising sessions on a first come, first served drop in basis, in order to serve our students as efficiently as possible. These advising sessions will focus on the upcoming semester and last between 20 to 30 minutes. Please note that the queue will close 30 minutes prior to closing. 

Students who come through peak advising and do not have an academic plan on record, are encouraged to schedule a follow up appointment with their Pathway Advisor after peak advising to develop an academic plan..

Advising is based on a one-student, one-advisor model. Ideally, you will meet with one academic advisor throughout your academic career at Aims. Your advisor serves as your point of contact for your advising questions, general concerns, campus resources and success support.

Visit the Meet Your Advisor page to find your Pathway Advisor’s specific contact information. 

New & Returning Students

Students are assigned an advisor with their chosen pathway once they become a student at Aims. Pathway Advisor assignments are made according to each student’s campus and declared major. 

As a new or returning student, your Pathway Advisor will work with you to:

  • Explain various educational pathways
  • Confirm your academic and career goals
  • Identify classes that will meet those goals
  • Assist with the online registration process
  • Inform you of important campus and community resources helpful for your success

  • Learning graduation requirements and other policies/procedures of Aims Community College
  • Monitoring and discussing your academic progress
