Student Advisors

Durham College is committed to student success. Academic advising is a comprehensive service that is aimed to guide students through their college experience. Student Advisors’ help students navigate through their studies by customizing academic plans to suit their individual needs. We work with the different support services to enhance the quality of students' academic life.

These representatives help students to:

  • Identify education and career goals, and support the creation of academic plans to achieve those goals.
  • Make decisions regarding full-time/part-time studies.
  • Select courses and identify equivalent credits.
  • Change programs, transfer to another program or explore pathways to further education.
  • Develop academic success plans in the event of failed courses or a low grade point average (GPA).
  • Ensure progression and graduation requirements are met.
  • Access other college support services.

Each academic faculty has a student advisor to facilitate academic success and help you to reach your full academic potential.
