Faculty Advisors

Review your Advising Plan – to find all your program requirements for graduation. 

If you aren’t sure which courses to take, access your academic requirements report to get an audit of your degree progress and a list of courses you still need. 

General education courses are required for all degrees that vary based on your program and career goals: 

• Technical degrees often specify recommendations on the advising plan. When not provided, students pursuing a two-year degree choose can reference this list for applicable general education courses.
• AA and AS students, who are ultimately pursuing a four-year degree, will also want to incorporate transfer pathway degree requirements and review transfer general education options into their course planning. 

If you registered for any course(s) not required for your program, on the day following registration, you may receive notification to your KCTCS email titled “Course Eligibility: Action Needed!” from no-reply@kccs.edu. 

• If you receive this email, don’t change your schedule. Forward the email to your advisor and ask for help with the next steps. 
• If unable to connect with your advisor, forward the email to gw-advisingcenter@kctcs.edu 
• Course eligibility emails are specific to program applicability for students using financial aid (FA). However, to stay on track for graduation, we recommend the same steps for all students.
