Academic Advisors are available to assist you at every stage of your education at Olive-Harvey College -- from clarifying education and career goals, to academic planning, to helping you succeed along your journey, to applying for graduation.

Meet With an Advisor Today                                  

Students can make an appointment with an academic advisor in two ways:                   

  
To make an appointment, log into Navigate​, our web-based student support tool. You can get there through My.CCC.edu, or download the app.  Click the "Schedule An Appointment" button and follow the prompts to pick a time that works for you. If you would like step-by-step guidance to making an appointment, you can watch this short video.  

  
                                                      

See our helpful advising tips on how to get the most out of your advising appointment. You should meet with your Advisor at least once each semester, more often if needed.
