Advising

Advising Mission Statement

At Craven Community College, advisement is a collaborative process between professional and faculty advisors that is designed to give students clarity on their academic direction and educational goals.

Our academic advisors are here to assist in schedule planning and course management in order to facilitate your academic success, and allow you to meet your educational goals at your own pace. During our office hours, our staff will see students on a walk-in basis, however, if you prefer to schedule an appointment with a specific advisor please email them directly.

To make an appointment with Military Affairs view the Veterans and Dependents Advising Schedule.

Counseling Resources

Stress is a normal and expected reaction to the transitions students face in college. This stress may be associated with academic demands, family problems, social relations, life transitions, work, financial concerns, and cultural experiences. If you or someone you know is having a difficult time managing life stressors, please feel free to email or call for more information and access to local professional resources. Contact Bill Bondurant, Director of Advising and Counseling by Email or call (252)638-7222.
