Advising & Registration
 

After you have completed an application for admission to CBC and have taken the placement test (ASSET/COMPASS), your next step is advising.

If you are a new student, your first advising session will be at a new student orientation. During the orientation, students are grouped by their academic interest. A counselor or educational advisor will assist you in developing your first schedule. To schedule an orientation appointment, contact the admission/registration office at: (509) 547-0511 Ext. 2241, 2499, or 2250

If you are a transfer student from another college, you can set up an initial advising appointment by calling (509) 547-0511 Ext. 2305. It is highly recommended that you submit copies of your official transcripts before this appointment so they can be evaluated.

If you are in a professional/technical program, your advisor will be an instructor or faculty member in that program.

If you are planning to transfer, your advisor could be a counselor, academic advisor, or a faculty member.

If you are undecided in what you want to major in or you are non-degree seeking, your advisor will be an academic advisor or counselor.

You can change your advisor at any time.
