What is Academic Advising?

Academic advising is a collaborative educational process; students and their advisors are partners in meeting the essential learning outcomes that support student success. The partnership requires participation and involvement of both the advisor and the student and spans the student's whole educational experience at Lone Star College. In this partnership both the advisor and advisee have well-defined responsibilities.

How to Video - Schedule an Advisor Appointment

• First-Year Students (or those enrolled in an EDUC 1300 course) are assigned an advisor based on the section of EDUC 1300 you are enrolled in. Prior to advisor assignment, students are assisted on a first-come, first-served basis by any available advisor.
   
• After completion of EDUC 1300 (First Year Experience course), or for students who transfer-in or are exempt from EDUC 1300, an advisor is assigned based on home campus degree plan and Area of Study. If you change your Area of Study, any advisor can help update your assigned advisor if needed.

For Current Students:

• Log in to myLonestar.
• Navigate to your Student Homepage.
• Click on the Advisor Tile.
  • If you have an Assigned Advisor, their information will appear.
    • Please contact them directly using your myLonestar student email address.

You may schedule an appointment directly from the link in their Advisor Tile. If your assigned advisor is unavailable, or if you are not yet assigned one, your home campus general advising contact will be listed to help you schedule with the first available advisor.
