Yavapai College offers a unique advising model that supports students from first registration through graduation. Enrollment advisors help students get started, and retention advisors continue working with students as they complete their academic plans.
YC advisor how-to
Your advisor information is available in your YC student portal. Use the Your Advisor area to find your assigned advisor and access contact or appointment-scheduling options.
Early College ProgrAMS
High school students should begin with YC Early College for dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, CTED pathways, and other high school student options.
Student journey
YC students are supported across their entire student journey, beginning with enrollment advising and continuing with retention advising after registration.
Enrollment advisors assist students from the beginning. They help students register for their first semester of classes, create an academic plan, and understand YC programs.
This support is especially useful for students who are new to YC, returning after time away, or still deciding which academic path fits their goals.
Once a student is registered, they move over to their retention advisor. The retention advisor continues working with the student until graduation.
Retention advisors help students follow their academic plan, register for upcoming semesters, stay connected to support, and prepare for next steps after degree completion.
Advising resources
These resources support new, returning, and continuing students as they prepare for classes, review placement or testing needs, transfer credits, and follow important academic dates.
About registration: Credit classes can be used toward a degree or certificate, for transfer to another institution, or for personal enrichment. Non-credit classes cover leisure, lifestyle, and special-interest subjects.
New Student Orientation
New Student Orientation is a resource for new and returning students. Orientation is tailored to registered students, but registered, non-registered, new, returning, and continuing students are encouraged to attend.
