If you test into one of the following courses: ENG061, ENG071, RDG071, RDG081, RDG091, MAT082, or MAT091 you will need to enroll in a Beartrax group orientation session that will assist you on your pathway to academic success. See page 41 (iStartSmart) for more information about the PC Student Success program.

Step Three

Select Your Course or Program
Your academic advisor is your single greatest resource in planning your education. Advisement is required in some instances and is highly recommended for all students. Students who have attended another college are encouraged to have official transcripts sent to Phoenix College prior to meeting with an academic advisor. If you need additional direction defining your goals or choosing a career pathway you may also want to visit the Counseling Department or the Career Center for guided assistance or additional resources.
