Students are encouraged to develop and maintain close relationships with their faculty advisors and Success Coaches. While initial advisor assignments are based on program of study and other factors, students may elect to change their assigned advisors. To do so they must submit a Change of Advisor form located in MyGCC. Students have the option to request a specific advisor or simply ask for a new advisor assignment. If a specific advisor is requested, that advisor must approve the request. If no specific advisor is requested, the Academic Advising Center will choose a new advisor based on program of study and advisor availability. If a student changes their major, their advisor will be updated to match their new program of study—no additional request needed. Contact the Academic Advising Center at advising@gcc.mass.edu with advisor assignment questions or concerns. Please note: Dual Enrollment students are not able to switch advisors, and are assigned based upon their high school/homeschool program.
