Academic Services

At Bow Valley College, Academic Support begins with helping you plan your path and choose your courses through personalized academic advising. From there, we offer a wide range of learning supports—available one-on-one, in groups, or through hands-on workshops—to help you build the skills you need to succeed.

At Bow Valley College, our Academic Advising team is dedicated to helping you navigate your academic journey and achieve your goals. Whether you’re deciding which courses to take, creating a personalized program plan, or understanding academic policies, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

We offer one-on-one, personalized support to help you make the best choices for your education. Our advisors can assist with course selection, ensuring that you’re choosing the right courses and setting yourself up for success. If you're unsure about when to add or drop classes, or how to balance your workload, we’ll work with you to create a plan that aligns with your goals.

We understand that every student’s path is unique, and we’ll help you design a customized program plan based on your pace and preferences. Whether you want to complete your program more quickly or prefer a more flexible schedule, our advisors will help you map out a strategy to stay on track and ensure you cross the stage at graduation.

Our team is also here to help you understand academic policies, deadlines, and procedures, so you can feel confident in your decisions and stay informed throughout your studies.

Academic advising is available once you’ve been accepted into your program. We encourage you to meet with an advisor early on to ensure that you’re taking the right courses in the right sequence, so you can reach your goals and finish your program successfully.

At Bow Valley College, we want you to feel supported and empowered to make informed decisions throughout your academic journey. No matter where you are in your academic path, we’re here to support you in achieving your goals and making your graduation day a reality!
