Academic Advising
Academic advising is available to all new, transfer, and returning students through the Student Success Center. Advising is a shared responsibility between you and your advisor (Student Success Center Advisor or Faculty Advisor). Faculty advisors advise all continuing students.
Our advisors are here to help you achieve your educational and career goals. We'll help you understand the key requirements your major, stay on track to graduate and/or transfer, develop a two- to three-year graduation plan, set realistic academic and career goals, and get connected to available campus resources.

To check if you have test scores:
- Log into LOLA

- On the left, click the Prior Education and Testing tab
- If you don’t see scores, they are not on your account.

If you do see scores, you can use this guide to see what Math and English you place into.
Accuplacer
- We no longer accept Compass or Multiple Measures. That means if you only have Compass or Multiple Measures, you need to take the Accuplacer.
- If you do not have scores or want an opportunity to see if you can test into a different Math or English, schedule the Accuplacer here.
- Take the Math and Writing test.
- For help with scheduling the Accuplacer call 337- 521- 9627
