Advisement | Paradise Valley Community College

Virtual Walk-Ins Are Available!

The purpose of the virtual walk-in advising is to assist you with a quick question or help you select your spring semester courses. These sessions are intended to be quick check-ins (typically no more than 15 minutes).

If you need help with developing a full academic plan and/or have a series of questions and would prefer more in-depth time with an advisor, please scroll down to make an appointment with your advisor. Please note that this is our busy time in Advising and there may be a bit of a wait to get to us, so thanks in advance for your patience. We look forward to talking with you.
