Advising
All students must be cleared by their academic advisor prior to registration. It is strongly recommended that you see your advisor early, during October.
Are you a new student? You will learn about the advising process during your ConnectSession, Durham Tech’s student orientation. After you submit your enrollment application and activate your accounts, you should complete a ConnectSession.
Completing the enrollment process early will help you avoid the long wait for a response from the advisor and will give you access to a wider selection of course options. See the Academic Advising webpage for more information about how to connect with your advisor.
Are you a continuing student? Are you admitted to a program? If the answer is “yes” to both questions, you likely have an assigned advisor. Check your profile in Self-Service for your advisor’s contact information. It is your responsibility to contact your advisor for registration. Contact your advisor as soon as possible; if they do not respond within three (3) business days, you may forward the email message you sent to your advisor with a message requesting assistance to advising@durhamtech.edu, and you will be connected to an advisor who will help you.
