Staff Appointments
Appointments (Phone/Zoom/In-Person) can be made using the Navigate app. Be sure to select "Advising" to see available appointments with Porter College advisors. Detailed instructions are here.

If you're not currently enrolled, you'll need to call or email us to schedule an appointment; only active students can make appointments in the Navigate Slug Success app.

Please note that you'll only be able to see availability for appointments up to two weeks from now. We have appointments available every week except at the end of December when campus closes for winter curtailment, and we're looking forward to talking with you!
