Danville Community College provides comprehensive academic advising services to students. All program-placed students are assigned an academic advisor. Academic advisors are trained to help students with decisions on a broad range of educational, career, and college transfer concerns.
Academic advisors review placement information with incoming students, verify their program of study and career goals, and help students register for their semester. Academic advisors provide ongoing support by assisting students in getting started at DCC, helping students with course selection from semester to semester, assisting students with establishing academic/career goals, helping students navigate DCC policies and procedures, providing assistance to students in choosing and/or changing a program of study, helping students interpret advisement reports, tracking student progress towards graduation, reviewing students course selections, and referring students to other college resources as needed.
Academic advising is a process which assists students in the clarification of their life/career goals and in the development of educational plans for the realization of these goals. At DCC, our primary goal of academic advising is to foster student success by helping students become effective agents for their own lifelong learning and personal development through informed planning and decision making.
Danville Community College’s Student Success Program was developed in alignment with the Virginia’s Community Colleges Chancellor’s College Success Coach Initiative (CSCI). DCC’s Student Success Program provides qualified students with a success coach throughout their first academic year. Our goal is to empower our students to persist through challenges and/or barriers they may encounter on their educational journey at DCC by providing a holistic approach to student success.
