Find Your Advisor

The primary purpose of Freshman Advising at BridgeValley Community and Technical College is to assist incoming students in the development and implementation of their educational plans. To this end, our advisors subscribe to the philosophies of developmental and appreciative advising in support of a robust and effective faculty & professional advising cohort.

Incoming students are assigned an Advising and Retention Specialist according to their intended major. Once the admission application is complete, the student will receive information on scheduling an appointment with a professional advisor.  After the initial semester, students will be assigned a faculty advisor who will assist with academic advising for all future semesters.

Your advisor is listed within your MyBridge portal under SSB and clicking Student Information, here you will see your advisors listed.

Retention Services

In addition to first semester advising, our Advising and Retention Specialists work with students on academic probation, financial aid probation, and those referred through the early alert system. They assist with goal setting, time management skills and understanding each student’s learning style so that the student can achieve academic success in the future.
