CAREER ASSESSMENT >>

Prospective Students
If you're just exploring your career and program options, our faculty and academic advisors are happy to provide guidance no matter what stage you're in. Completing the admissions application and placement process before meeting with us, however, is especially helpful if you'd like to register for classes during your initial meeting.  

New Students 
If you're a new student and want to take six or more credit hours, it is essential to meet with an advisor. They'll help you plan your class schedule and get you on track to meet your goals.  

Don't wait to make an appointment, but before you meet, it's helpful to complete your admissions application and placement process so your advisor can register you for your classes. 

Current Students
As a current Lake Michigan College student, you are encouraged to meet with an Academic Advisor or Faculty Advisor prior to each semester and anytime you have questions. 

Guest Students 
Guest Students who currently attend another college or university and will return to that institution after completing coursework at LMC (usually during the summer) should complete a Michigan Undergraduate Guest Application.

Advising Appointments

Advising schedules vary by campus. Appointments are preferred, however, every effort will be made to work-in students who arrive without an appointment, depending on advisor availability and timing. Please call your campus at the numbers provided below if you would like to make an advising appointment.

Prior to the start of each semester, each campus will transition to walk-in advising in order to accommodate as many students as possible before the start of the semester. Dates and times vary by campus.
