If you need help with scheduling or advice on it, make an appointment with your academic advisor.

Sinclair has an Accessibility Services office and a Counseling Services office. They are located in Building 10, Room 424. They help with academic concerns, personal concerns, homelessness, basic needs, grief and loss, building good study habits, procrastination, and a lot more.

If you don’t know where to go to get help or you need an advocate, the office of the Ombudsman, also located in Building 10, Room 424, can help you. They offer personal/life coaching to students and assists students and faculty in finding resources to both academic and non-academic issues.

Remember to schedule and complete whatever placement tests you may need to. This might help you achieve your academic goals more quickly and easily. Get ready for the fall semester and good luck to everyone!
