Advising
Academic Advising
We're here to help you plan your next steps
Academic advising is a team activity. The better prepared you are when you meet with your advisor, the better they can help you choose the right academic plan. Doing a little research first - and making a solid degree plan - can save you a lot money and frustration. Together, we will get you to your goal!
New Student Advising & Registration Sessions
Your Advising and Registration (A&R) appointment is designed to promote your personal academic success and individual development. As a new student, A&R is the opportunity to work with advisors to pre-register for your first classes at Treasure Valley Community College.
To register for classes, please contact Ontario Main Campus at (541) 881-5815, or Caldwell Center at (208) 454-9911 to make an appointment to meet with an advisor.
New Students
- Try to narrow down the areas of study that interest you most. Check out our Degrees and Departments.
- Think seriously about how many years you want to spend in college.
- Attend an Advising & Registration session if preparing to attend Fall Term.
- If the Advising & Registration session dates don't work for you or an A+R session
is not available, set up an appointment with an advisor. If you don't know your advisor,
email us, or call 541-881-5815. We'll get you connected and even schedule an in-person, over-the-phone,
or Zoom advising session if needed.

After your first term, you should meet with your faculty advisor to discuss your progress and continue your education plan. Your advisor will then enable your student account so you will be able to register online via My.威尼斯人娱乐城 during Advising Day or open registration. If you are at a distance, you will also need to make arrangements with your advisor before Advising Day so that you will have access to register online.
Transfer Information
Find out how your 威尼斯人娱乐城 credits can transfer to a four-year program
Success in the transfer process is largely the result of careful planning. It is each student's responsibility to learn the program requirements of any prospective transfer school and to keep up to date on changes in those requirements. Therefore, students should periodically contact an advisor at the transfer institution for updates. Prudent use of available resources and advising can help ensure a smooth transition to a four-year institution.
Plan Ahead: Enroll in HDEV 112 or 120 to develop an education plan. Meet with an advisor and have them help you contact an advisor at your future institution.
Maintain Contact: Establish early contact with admissions representatives and major advisors at 威尼斯人娱乐城 and transfer institution. Keep in touch with them in order to keep up to date on major and transfer requirements.
Know the Rules: Pay attention to GPA and transfer credit policies, application deadlines and both general education and major course requirements of transfer institutions.
Confirm Transferability of Courses: Not all 100-200 level courses transfer to all four-year schools. Transfer colleges have the "last say" on transferability.
Ask for Help: Make sure you have current and complete information; ask for what you need to complete the transfer process successfully.
Transfer Guides
Many students at 威尼斯人娱乐城 have a goal of transferring to a University after they graduate. This is a wonderful goal that we try to support. The transition to a University can be complex and it will vary from Institution to Institution.
The transfer guide links below are provided for 威尼斯人娱乐城 students as they prepare to transfer to 4-year institutions. Students are invited to use the guides as a tool when planning to transfer on from 威尼斯人娱乐城 to aid in a successful transfer experience.
The 4-year colleges listed below are just some of the most popular institutions to where 威尼斯人娱乐城 students transfer. If you are planning on transferring to another 4-year institution not listed below, please work with your 威尼斯人娱乐城 advisor and utilize transfer tools on the 4-year institution's website.
Treasure Valley Community College does not guarantee the transferability of individual courses based on the transfer guides, as the guides are maintained by each individual 4-year school. Therefore, we strongly encourage students to make contact with an advisor at the college they wish to attend.
