Academic & Career Advising

The mission of the Academic Advising Department at Daytona State College is part of a collaborative process designed to help students succeed academically by encouraging them to be proactive in planning their own education. Academic Advisors will assist students with developing an appropriate educational plan that will lead to graduation by providing them with timely and accurate information, making referrals to campus resources, and encouraging students to utilize these resources.

Once you have been admitted to DSC and have completed your orientation, Group New Student Advising and have taken a placement test, you're ready to speak with advising:

• Some students with qualifying SAT/ACT test scores or transfer credits will not need to be tested.
• Any student who started the 9th grade in a Florida public high school in the 2003/2004 school year (or later) AND graduates from a Florida public high school and students who are currently active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces are exempt from taking any college placement test or developmental education course.  Students can opt to take the placement test and subsequent developmental courses if they feel they need to or if it is recommended by an Academic Advisor.
