Academic Advisement

Associate in Arts Degree Advisement

For students planning to transfer to one of Florida's state universities, the Associate in Arts (AA) degree is the transferable degree. The AA degree contains the General Education portion (lower division) of the bachelor's (BA) degree. Therefore, a student can only earn one AA degree.

The Advisement Center, in R-201, acts as an information and referral center with timely and accurate information for students regarding course planning and Associate in Arts degree graduation requirements. Advisors assist AA students with planning their programs of study for transfer to a four-year university. Students wishing to transfer should also obtain additional academic advisement from the upper division school to which they expect to apply.

All students must view their degree audit via eSantaFe each semester and are encouraged to meet with an advisor for proper course selection prior to registration.
