Academic Advising

Vision of Academic Advisement

Barton's advisement system is intended to be a student centered system designed to increase student success and retention by encouraging on going contact between students, advisors, and the Barton student support structure.  Advisors are expected to be accessible to all advisees and exhibit an open-door policy.

Academic Advisors can answer questions about: 

  • Courses at Barton, online or face to face.
  • Prerequisites for courses.
  • Certificates and/or degrees offered at Barton.
  • Selecting a major course of study.
  • Transfer of credit from other schools to Barton.
  • Graduation requirements.

For students taking all courses online, it is possible to earn a degree from Barton Community College through BARTOnline.  To do so requires the completion of the program-required courses at either Barton or other institutions.  At least 15 credit hours must be taken from Barton.

Barton's approach to advising includes assigning an advisor to students who identify themselves as degree or certificate seeking.  If you are degree or certificate seeking and have not yet received information about your assigned advisor, or if you are not degree or certificate seeking and would like to be connected to or assigned to an advisor, please complete the form below:
