To an Online Learning student, advising is just as important as it is to an on-campus student. Communicating with your advisor is critical to knowing that you’re taking the correct courses that will count towards your degree and help you achieve your goals. Students with less than fifteen credit hours completed will speak to someone in enrollment services, while students with sixteen or more credit hours will meet directly with their faculty advisor. You can find out who your faculty advisor is by logging into MyReynolds, clicking on the SIS (Student Information System) Icon, then clicking on the first option entitled “Student Center”. You advisor is listed in a box on the right side of the screen, along with their phone number. You can find a full list of the faculty advisors here: http://www.reynolds.edu/student_services/advising/facadvisors.aspx

It’s also a great idea to take down some questions that you may have, so you don’t forget anything when speaking with them. Some example questions are:
