Advising & Registration

If you are a future student, your first step is to apply for admission. To do this, go to Getting Started and select the category that best describes your situation. From there you will be given information on assessment, advising and registration appointments. If you are a currently enrolled student, the advising and registration process occurs every quarter.

Online/distance advising is a service for students at Whatcom. It is intended primarily for students too far away to come to campus. Students planning to take classes for a Transfer Degree can contact Leslie Clark at lclark@whatcom.ctc.edu. Students interested in Professional Technical Programs such as Nursing, Physical Therapist Assistant and Visual Communications, can contact Dave Knapp at dknapp@whatcom.ctc.edu. Keep checking back as Whatcom will be creating a web page with much more information about online/distance advising including how best to access this service, how to get started at Whatcom, and answers to the most frequently asked questions.
