Academic Advising
How do I sign up for classes?
Students must meet with an academic advisor in order to register for classes. All students are assigned an academic advisor, with the exception of Special Credit Non-Degree Seeking Students.
Choose one of three options:
1. Current Students
Contact your academic advisor for an appointment and to have the registration block lifted.
(Please see: “How do I find out who is my advisor?” below)
Academic advisors will…
- Guide you in researching and choosing long-term educational and career goals.
- Connect you with career coaching and resources.
- Advise you on how many courses to take and when to take them.
- Set up a Course Plan in myBlueRidge, a list of advisor-approved courses which a student may register for, for the next semester.

Step 2: Know what courses you have already taken
- This information can be found in your myBlueRidge account.
