Academic Support
When you invest in yourself at Harford Community College, you do so knowing we're here to support you every step of the way.
As you research colleges, take a look at what Harford students have available to them throughout their academic journey. Career Services continues to provide services to students and alumni long after they leave campus. In between, the Learning Center offers one-on-one and group assistance with course content, learning strategies and study skills, and Academic Advisors guide students in course selection and career choices throughout their time at Harford. All of these support teams provide students with valuable resources and work together to ensure that when you graduate, you will have accomplished what they set out to do—and were successful doing it.
Academic Support Resources
Academic Advisors are one of the most valuable resources on campus! They are assigned to students based on their major and follow them through their entire academic journey. Students are encouraged to get to know their advisor and meet with them at least once per semester.
Advisors can help you navigate college, plan for transfer, and choose classes prior to registration. They can help you choose a career path, and stay on track for graduation.
To book an advising appointment or access Live Chat, log into OwlNet and search for the Advising & Transfer | STU card.
