Academic Advising
Academic advising is like having a guide to help you plan your college journey. Your advisor is someone who helps you:
- Pick the right classes for your major or career goals.
- Understand your degree plan so you know what you need to graduate.
- Stay on track each semester so you don’t miss important requirements.
- Explore options if you’re thinking about changing majors or transferring to another school.
- Get support when you’re unsure about your next steps or facing challenges.
You don’t have to figure everything out alone—your advisor is here to help you succeed.
We're sorry, no articles were found for this listing.
Academic advising is available to all new, transfer, and returning students through the Student Success Center.

Placement & Course Selection Help
Placement for English & Math Courses
Placement ensures you're enrolled in the correct Math and English courses based on your current skill level. At SoLAcc, placement is determined by your ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer Next Generation (NG) test scores.
Don't Have Test Scores?
No problem! SoLAcc offers Accuplacer NG testing at each campus. You can register for testing through the Accuplacer webpage.
Placement Charts
Locate your placement scores for English and Math in the charts below. Use the columns on the right hand-side to determine which courses to schedule.
ACT Score | accuplacer ng WRITING score | sat score | register for: |
---|---|---|---|
14 or below | 224 or below | 419 or below | Both ENGL 0088 & 1010 |
15-17 | 225-249 | 420-499 | Both ENGL 0093 & 1010 |
18-27 | 250+ | 500-639 | ENGL 1010 |
28+ | n/a | 640+ | ENGL 1020; earned credit for 1010 |
What Are Co-Requisite Support Courses?
If your placement requires it, you’ll be enrolled in a college-level course (ENGL 1010 or MATH 1105) along with a support course (ENGL/MATH 0088 or 0093) in the same term. These support courses are designed to help you succeed in your college-level coursework.
If your test scores place you directly into ENGL 1010 or MATH 1105, you also have the option to enroll in a support course for additional help
Retesting Reminder
If your test scores are older than 3 years, you’ll need to retest using Accuplacer NG.
