Advising
Pathway advising is critical to your success, satisfaction, retention, and graduation from Mohave College. Advising is an ongoing interactive process involving the student, advisors, faculty, staff, and the institution. The primary goal of pathway advising is to help students develop personal, professional, and career goals that are challenging, worthwhile, and realistic.

New Students & Veterans Advising
First-time freshmen and non-degree seeking students can receive assistance from a pathway advisor via phone or email. You can find your local new student pathway advisor on the Admissions page.
For a video guide on how to register, please watch this video.
Veteran students may contact Veterans Advisor Desiree Lira and learn more on the Military and Veteran Services page. To schedule an appointment with the Veterans Advisor, please use this scheduler.

Continuing Students
Returning and transfer students may log in to their myMohave portal to make an appointment with their pathway advisor. Here is a walkthrough video for additional assistance on using the new scheduler for continuing and transfer students.
You may enroll in courses for which you have completed the prerequisites without an advisor’s signature. However, you must meet with a pathway advisor if you:
- Receive Financial Aid
- Select courses for which you have not met prerequisites
- Change your degree, major, or catalog year
- Add or drop a class
- Need help reviewing your academic progress
- Plan to transfer to a university
- Experience academic difficulties
- Are completing your degree or certificate program (you should meet with an advisor at least one semester before commencement)
Succeeding at Mohave College
You are responsible for knowing the degree requirements and that the courses in which you enroll will meet those requirements. To gain a total college experience, you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with College services, activities and resources. You should become familiar with the class schedule, the college catalog and the student handbook.
You are also encouraged to participate in programs, classes and activities that help you develop and grow academically. Mohave College faculty and pathway advisors, as well as family and peers, can all be valuable sources of information on how to succeed in college.
