Academic advising is an active community of support that empowers students to achieve their goals. Students can work with a team of professional academic advisors and faculty to gain insight regarding programs of study and to explore possible careers.

In person and virtual scheduled appointments and ‘drop-in’ academic advising services are available at Virginia Peninsula Community College. Advising services are for certificate or degree-seeking students only. Review the college catalog for eligible curricular programs.
 
Students are assigned an advisor within their academic division once they have declared a curricular program. Advisor information is available on the student’s Navigate Homepage and Student Center page in SIS. If students are unable to view assigned advisor information on their Navigate Homepage or Student Center page, send an email to advising@vpcc.edu and include: student’s full name, 7-digit student ID number and program of study.

To select the appropriate classes and prior to scheduling an appointment with your advisor, complete this survey:

Repeating a Course

A student will be limited to two enrollments in the same credit course. Students requesting to enroll in the same course more than twice must meet with their advisor. If the student has an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher at the time of the request, the Director of Advising will approve the request. If the student does not have an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher, the request will be denied. The Director of Advising may require the student to wait until final grades are posted from the previous term to insure the 2.0 GPA has been achieved.

Course repeat requests must be received no later than three business days prior to the start of the requested session start date. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for session start dates.
