Prior to advising and registration review the current class schedule, available at http://www.chipola.edu/ for course options. Whenever possible, students should use one of the pre-planned Academic Plans available with advisers in Student Affairs and on the college website Academic Plans It is in the student’s best interest to choose a major and transfer school as soon as possible and to work closely with an academic advisor in selecting courses. This will facilitate academic advising and should prevent you from taking courses unrelated to your major. The College advising staff will assist by providing up-to-date information about appropriate courses which should satisfy requirements for the student’s major at Chipola and at the chosen transfer institution. The Florida Virtual Campus at http://www.floridashines.org/ is available to all students to access program requirements for all majors within the state public university system.
