Mission Statement

The mission of the Advising Office at Malcolm X College is to assist students in developing an educational plan that is consistent with their personal, academic, and career goals. Advising is a collaborative process among students, faculty, and staff that promotes student success and fosters academic progress.                                        

Meet With an Advisor Today 
Students can make an appointment with an academic advisor using Navigate, our web-based student support tool. 

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.                                                             

See your Advisor if you are:

  • Struggling with your current classes; help is available
  • Unsure about your education or career goals and options
  • Unsure if your academic plan (go to my.ccc.edu >Academics >View My Enrollment History to see your current academic plan) is aligned with your goals
  • Planning to transfer to a 4-year institution
  • Confused about your academic progress or degree requirements
  • Trying to use credits earned at a non-CCC college or university toward your graduation requirements
  • Looking for an academic plan to help guide you term-by-term and to help you easily register
  • Wanting to get involved in clubs and activities on campus
  • If you have a question about academics, services available to you, or anything else
