It depends on the type of help you are requesting. SCPS encourages the student to always speak with the instructor of the class directly. After the student has met with the professor and continues to need additional assistance, students can always contact their academic advisor.

SCPS programs offer advising sessions prior to the registration period. The schedule is broken down into programs and cohorts. Three weeks prior to the advising sessions, the Registrar’s Office applies advisor holds on all student records. In order for the advisor hold to be removed, students must attend an advising session. The academic advisor reaches out to students through emails and JasperConnect. All students are required to register through self-service. Self-service can be located under Quick Links. Instructions and directions are provided through the advising sessions.

During the advising sessions, students are directed to review all hold records through self-service. Self-service, student tab, Records, View all holds.

Before each registration period, students will automatically have an advisor hold on their student account. Once the student attends an advising session, the advisor hold will be removed.

At minimum MSOL/BSOL students register for 2 courses per semester. Once the student has discussed their academic plan with their advisor, the student can register for more than 2 courses depending on their specific academic plan.

Camino students are required to register for 12 credits or more per semester. The academic advisor will review each student’s academic plan to determine the number of credits.

A student can review their schedule through self-service. Under self-service, student tab, there is a section under registration listed as “Student Detailed Schedule”. Be sure to choose the correct term.
