Academic Advising
Welcome to the Academic Advising Center, located in suite 1190 on the main campus.
Our office is dedicated to supporting students with academic planning, transfer requirements,
and more. We provide assistance with college orientation, registration, academic and
career guidance, degree planning, outreach and support to ensure your academic success.
Connect with your assigned academic advisor by scheduling an appointment. Scroll down to access your advisor’s Calendly link and reserve a time that works for you.
Walk-in advising is available on Wednesdays—no appointment required. However, you must register the same day through the QLess system. Click here to register on the day of your visit.
Advising is offered in person or virtually via Google Meet. Please note that the QLess system may close at any time if demand is high.
What is Needed to Register:
1. PSC student ID
Submit an application found here
2. Transcripts on file with Records and Registration (high school and college
transcripts, if applicable)
Have transcripts emailed directly to ptranscripts@prairiestate.edu. If submitting college transcripts, make sure you also complete the Transcript Evaluation Form found here.
3. English and Math Placement test score
English placement must be completed if you have not completed a
college English course. Email PSC Testing Center at
testing@prairiestate.edu to obtain instructions on how to complete.
While completing the math placement is strongly encouraged, it is not
required to continue with course registration if you do not need a math
course for the fall term.
Stay on Track:
Keep on top of your student planning with our web-based self-service platform, it offers integrated student planning, degree audits, financial aid status and award letters, as well as real-time tuition balances, pending payments, and user-friendly billing statements.
