Academic Advisement and Counseling

Professionally qualified counselors and academic advisors are available for consultation in Lincoln Hall, Room 104.  Call (217) 443-8750 to learn about their walk-in and appointment schedule.  Students can also view their schedules or make an appointment online at www.dacc.edu/aac.

One of the primary functions of Academic Advisement and Counseling is to help all students obtain the type of education best adapted to their needs, abilities, and interests.  Counselors and academic advisors meet with students to assist them in planning their academic programs and career goals, solving personal problems, and adjusting to college.  All full-time and part-time students who are pursuing a certificate and/or degree are required to work with an Academic Advisor.  Advisors will develop an “academic pathway” with each student to ensure timely student success.  The academic pathway is an interactive plan that students can access through the myDACC/Self Service.  Students can view their progress toward their educational goals 24/7!

To assist with the transfer from DACC to a four-year institution, the college hosts an annual College Day each fall to give students the opportunity to obtain first-hand information from college representatives.  Transfer admission procedures, evaluation of credits, college costs, financial aid, housing, and other areas of articulation information are available to all participants.  In addition, in the spring DACC hosts a College Fair / State University Transfer Day.  State university Admissions Counselors will be on campus to answer questions, assist with applications, etc.
