We recommend emailing us rather than scheduling an appointment in the following situations:
- You need an advisor鈥檚 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鈥檚 Allied Health, Culinary, or Creative Academy programs
- You are having problems with registering for classes
