Academic Advisement

Professional 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 https://dacc.edu/aac

One of the primary functions of Academic Advisement is to help all students obtain the type of education best adapted to their needs, abilities, and interests. Academic advisors meet with students to help them in plan their academic programs and career goals, address personal issues, and adjust to college life. 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 myDACC/Self-Service. Students can view their progress toward their educational goals 24/7!

To assist students with the transfer from DACC to a four-year institution, the college hosts an annual College Day each fall, providing them with the opportunity to obtain firsthand information from college representatives. Transfer admission procedures, credit evaluation, college costs, financial aid, housing, and other 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.
