Students New to Chemeketa
New student academic advising can help you plan and register for classes, understand your placement test scores, access student services and learn more about attending Chemeketa.
New Student Advising
- All first-year, certificate/degree-seeking students are assigned an Academic Advisor based on their degree pathway. This allows the advisor to be well versed on the requirements and guide the student through their pathway.
- Students will have an advising hold and are required to meet with their advisor in their first two terms and any subsequent term where their GPA is below a 2.25 GPA in the prior term, and/or if they do not register for the prior or current term.
- Plan to meet with an advisor once a term to make sure you are on track to accomplish your educational goals.
- Schedule your appointment in the first couple weeks of the term to ensure you are able to meet with your advisor before registration opens.
