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.

Assigned Advising:

You must now make an appointment to see your assigned advisor, or drop by on Walk-in Wednesdays, designated for those without an appointment. The QLess System is available on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please be aware that long wait times may occur on Wednesdays, and the system may close due to high volume. For questions, please contact advising@prairiestate.edu.

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.
