Counseling and Advising

We want you to succeed at Montgomery College. Our counselors and advisors work closely with students to help them meet their personal, career, and educational goals.

Need Academic Advising Before the Fall Semester Begins?

August is one of our busiest advising periods. To help students get assistance as quickly as possible, Counseling and Advising uses a same-day advising model throughout August.

Before you begin, review advising hours, virtual advising options, and the steps for connecting with a counselor.

Counseling faculty help students with their personal, career, and educational goals and assist students with selecting the courses that are right for them. Counselors also teach student success courses, such as First Year Seminar, and provide interventions and support when students need help.
