Advising Overview

Welcome to Florida Keys Community College Advising Services! Our mission is to assist you in selecting the best courses to meet your educational, professional and personal goals.

Our Advising Services staff is here to serve you.  Please come to us with any questions regarding your educational goals or course schedule.

What is an academic advisor, and why do I need one? An Academic Advisor at FKCC is a trained professional who can help you plan your academic career. An advisor can explain FKCC and Florida State academic policies. An advisor can help you with FKCC procedures such as transient forms and the petition process. An advisor can answer your questions about FKCC and transferring to a university.

FKCC academic advisors can answer your questions. They can also teach you how to access your degree audit and other online academic resources.

AA Advising:

It is recommended that you make an appointment to see an AA Advisor.

Email: advising.services@fkcc.edu

Our office hours are: Monday thru Thursday: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Wednesdays: 8:30 am to 6:30 pm. If these hours don't fit your schedule, contact an advisor directly to set up an appointment that works for you.

Please note, however, that at certain times of the year a large number of students may attempt to receive academic advisement at the same time.

*Note that the number of students seeking academic advising shows a dramatic increase during orientation and registration periods, so the wait time may be longer.
