- Zoom
As students will need to access these web applications quite frequently during their educational journey, MyDCC is a very important tool for students. *If you need help with your password for MyDCC, please email passwordreset@danville.edu.
- Why am I assigned an academic advisor? What do they do? How do I know who they are?
All degree seeking students are assigned an academic advisor. An academic advisor is one of the most valuable resources on campus. If you have a question and are not sure who can help you, your academic advisor is a great place to start. Among other things, your academic advisor can help you:
- develop your educational plan
- register for courses
- track your degree progress
- connect with other college resources
- understand college policies and procedures
- stay informed of college dates and deadlines
Students are assigned an academic advisor based on their program of study. Upon selecting a program of study, you will receive an email from your division to let you know who has been assigned as your academic advisor. For future reference, your advisor will also be displayed in SIS under the Student Center and Navigate under the Resources Tab.
