Advisor Central Email Service
You can also reach us via email at AdvisorCentral@seattlecolleges.edu.
Our advisors actively respond to this inbox, so this is a great way to reach us with quick questions that don’t require a full 30-minute appointment.
We recommend emailing us rather than scheduling an appointment in the following situations:
- You need an advisor’s signature on a form
- You need an advisor to confirm that you meet the prerequisites to register for a course
- You need an entry code to register online
- You have a quick, general question about the school or degree requirements
- You need to be academically approved for one of Seattle Central’s Allied Health, Culinary, or Creative Academy programs
- You are having problems with registering for classes
