The Alamo Colleges is a learning community of students, faculty, staff and administrators who all share the responsibility to create an atmosphere where knowledge, integrity, truth, and academic honesty are valued and expected. Academic advising is on the frontline in establishing this mutual partnership that fosters the conditions necessary for student success.

Serving as a primary source of information to all students in the Alamo Colleges, academic advising offers students the opportunity to evaluate their progress toward the realization of their goals; make decisions based on accurate information; comprehend institutional, state and federal policies and procedures; and access the institutional support services available to them.
