In-Person Advising
Our in-person office hours are: Monday - Thursday, 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (regular hours), on Fridays, our hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Students should plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing time.
During the summer, all campuses are closed on Fridays.
During peak registration times, at the beginning of each semester, advisors assist students with registration on drop-in basis. Appointments may be limited for students who wish to discuss pre-requisites, academic plans, or other in depth issues.
Appointments
Appointments are available during non-peak hours. To schedule an appointment, login to myPHSC, navigate to student quicklinks and click on Navigate link. Newly admitted students must complete Group Advising before scheduling a one-on-one appointment.
Drop-ins
Drop-in advising does not require an appointment. Continuing and new students who completed Group Advising are welcome to meet an advisor in-person or virtually via Zoom during the designated drop-in periods each week.
Group Advising
All new first semester students must attend a Group Advising Session. This includes first-time in college and transfer students.
Group advising is not for current/returning PHSC students. Students can register for Group Advising after they have completed all necessary steps in the Bobcat Application Portal.
During Group Advising new students learn how to register for classes, navigate systems, review academic programs and much more.
