Academic Advising

Our goal at Academic Advising at Henry Ford Community College is to assist you in selecting a career path. This service provides advice to students regarding the implementation of their educational goals.  Counselors advise students in the following areas:

• Selection of courses related to an educational program/curriculum/degree
• Selection of an appropriate schedule/times for classes
• Time management or balance of number of courses with life styles
• Study skills planning and development

HFCC offers four ways for you to connect your goals to a career path.

Transferring HFCC Credits To Other Colleges & Universities

This service assists students with the selection of courses taught at HFCC which will transfer to other colleges and universities.  The following resources are available.

TRANSFER GUIDES

Transfer Guides are the outlines of classes that students intending to transfer to a four-year institution should follow. Each transfer institution typically has a Transfer Guide for specific majors; and it also has Transfer Guides for those students who may be undecided or are planning to transfer in a Liberal Arts direction.

HFCC Counselors are available to help all students interpret the Transfer Guides as well as select or narrow down the choices of a transfer institution. HFCC’s University Transfer, Advising, and Career Counseling Center currently has Transfer Guides on “hard copy” of the major institutions in Michigan.

Below are the transfer institutions that currently have their Transfer Guides available “online.” Select the transfer institution below and then select the program (Transfer Guide) that you wish to see. These Transfer Guides are in a format which allows you to print a hard copy exactly as it appears in our office. As additional institutions make the Transfer Guides available, they will also appear as links.
