College Advising Mission
Statement
As
an integral part of the educational experience, the Advising Department at
Harold Washington College empowers students to take charge of their academic,
career, and personal goals through shared responsibility between the student
and advisor.
We are still here to assist you! Meet With Your Advisor:
The
Advising Office is open Monday - Wednesday: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Thursday: 9:00
am - 6:00 pm, and Friday: 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. Students can meet with
a College Advisor in two ways:
· Virtual
appointment: 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: https://bit.ly/2RR0I3T
