Academic Advisors

After a student submits an application, the Admissions Office sends a confirmation email, a formal acknowledgment letter, and a Welcome Packet. The packet provides important information about academic advising and other student support services.

Each curriculum student is assigned a dedicated Success Coach (advisor) to provide personalized guidance and support throughout their academic journey. For more information about your specific Success Coach, please visit the Success Coaches page on the Stanly Community College website.

All curriculum students are required to meet with their Success Coach at least once per semester, either in person or by phone. These advising sessions help ensure that students are on the correct academic pathway, making satisfactory progress toward their credential, and prepared for upcoming course registration.

Stanly Community College recognizes academic advising as a critical component of student success. Success Coaches are committed to offering effective academic guidance and will make referrals to appropriate resources if students need assistance in other areas.

New Student Orientation

All new curriculum students are required to complete New Student Orientation, which is offered online in a self-paced format for convenience and accessibility. Orientation must be completed before a student can register for classes.

Through Orientation, students will be introduced to important college policies, student conduct expectations, academic information, and available support services. Students will also learn about campus departments, program information, and opportunities for involvement in student clubs and organizations.

At the conclusion of New Student Orientation, students will schedule an appointment with their Success Coach to begin planning their academic journey. To access the online orientation, please visit the Student Orientation page.
