Advisors to Put You on the Right Track
Gwinnett Tech advisors provide evaluation and guidance to help you explore and choose program options, class selection and scheduling, and career and educational goals. Students are assigned an advisor after being accepted into a program of study. You should meet with your advisor prior to each quarterly registration to discuss your plans and progress towards graduation. Keep in mind that it is your overall responsibility to meet all graduation requirements, but advisors are here to assist you in your academic planning.
Do you have questions about your academic program or your course of study?
