Pathway Advising

Fall 2024 Peak Advising

Peak registration starts on August 12,  2024 and ends on August 30, 2024. During this time, Pathway Advising will be offering students express advising via drop-ins so we can serve all of our students. These advising sessions will focus on the upcoming semester and last between 20-30 minutes. Please note that the queue will close 30 minutes prior to closing. 

Pathway advisors will reach out to students who come in during peak advising to make follow-up appointments early in the semester to complete an academic plan.

After peak advising ends on August 30, 2024, Pathway Advising will return to appointment-based advising. Please NOTE: Fridays will be normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. business hours during this time. 

To protect the privacy of our students in online advising sessions, please note students will be asked to show a government issued photo ID and their camera to be turned on at the time of the advising session. Students will also be asked FERPA security screening questions.
 
If you find your camera is not working properly, please call the IT Help Desk at 970-339-6380 for assistance.

How Pathway Advisors Help

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

Current Students

It is recommended that current students meet with their Pathway Advisor at least once each semester. 

During these appointments, a Pathway Advisor can assist you with the following:

  • Short-term and long-term goal setting
  • Developing an education plan that outlines your courses all the way to graduation
  • Learning graduation requirements and other policies/procedures of Aims Community College
  • Monitoring and discussing your academic progress
  • Referring you to academic, career, financial, social, and wellness resources that may assist you
  • Discussing any concerns or obstacles, you are facing during the semester and helping you get back on track
  • Connecting with a faculty mentor in your area of study as well as leadership and experiential learning opportunities
  • Academic probation and suspension recovery
