Advising Month helps save time, money, stress

There’s no better way for you to save time and money — and ease stress — while reaching your academic goals than by using 91ÖÆÆ¬³§â€™s advising services.

91ÖÆÆ¬³§ faculty and staff are bolstering efforts to encourage students to take advantage of advising services during Advising Month, which kicks off November 1 and runs the entire month.

Students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor or a staff advisor to review their degree audit, figure out which courses they need to take, create a schedule and register for classes for next semester.

Staff advisors are available for drop-in advising anytime during normal business hours — no appointment necessary — in the Advising Office in the South Portland Campus Center, or in the L.L.Bean Learning Commons on the Midcoast Campus.

You can also text Advising Office staff at 833-299-2957, call them at 207-741-5835, or email them at advising@smccME.edu.

For instant answers to questions, use the Advising Chat tool on My Maine Guide, staffed from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. through the month of November.

Be sure to keep your eye out for program-specific advising sessions that will be held throughout November.
