Blinn College's Counseling Services provides students with a range of resources to assist them in formulating plans and making decisions in various phases of their academic, personal, and vocational development.
Academic Advisement
Blinn College encourages all students to participate in academic advisement throughout their tenure here. The Academic Advisement process includes meeting with a counselor or faculty advisor to choose courses and make appropriate decisions concerning students' academic goals. The following populations of students are required to be advised each semester prior to registration:
students enrolling at Blinn College for the first time*
students who fail any part of the THEA test
students who are on scholastic probation
The Counseling Services staff, as well as faculty advisors, is available year round to guide students regarding prerequisites, course transferability, career choices, and many other aspects that concern student development.
* exception:
a. students co-enrolled at a senior institution which provides appropriate approval, and
b. students who have passed all parts of THEA or are THEA exempt. This group of students must sign a self-advising waiver form.
