The goal of the advising program at Porterville College is to assist individuals in identifying and developing their academic strengths and to help them establish both immediate and long-range goals.
Students meet with an advisor prior to registration to discuss career options and to plan a program.
All new students are required to take math and English placement tests to assist the advisors and students to accurately select appropriate courses. Red Admission Persons 18 years of age or older may be admitted to Porterville College whether or not they possess a high school diploma. Those not yet 18 must possess a high school diploma or its equivalent. High school juniors and seniors may attend with the permission of their principal. Transfer students are also welcome.
