Make an Advising Appointment
Advisors are people trained to help you get started at Highline, choose courses and connect with resources. The type of advisor you meet with depends on how many credits you have and what program(s) you are in.
If you are in one of these programs, visit their website to learn how to make an appointment: International Student Programs, Running Start, TRiO, MESA, Promise Scholars and Umoja. Athletes should contact their Athletics advisor.
