Academic Advising
A primary goal of Hennepin Technical College is to assist students in making progress toward their educational, career, and personal goals. In order to assist students to be successful, the following staff and faculty are available to meet with students:
Counselors
Professional counselors serve the college community by providing academic, career, crisis, and personal counseling to students in a confidential setting.Counselors assist students on academic warning, suspension, and probation by formulating plans to help them accomplish their academic, career, and personal goals. Counselors also connect with students of concern to provide resources to help them improve their attendance and academic performance. In addition, counselors serve as the faculty advisors for all Individualized Studies and Health Science (Broad Field) major students at Hennepin Tech.
Student Success Advisors
Student Success advisors provide assistance with academic planning, scheduling, and post-test advising. They are available by appointment and on a walk-in basis to help students with the admissions, registration, and financial aid processes. Student Success advisors help prospective students explore the programs offered by HTC and help current students stay on track with their academic plan.
Faculty Advisors
Faculty advisors provide assistance in planning a program of study consistent with the students’ educational and employment objectives. All students with a declared major are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor during Advising month, which is held each semester prior to registration.
