Make an Advising Appointment - Southwestern Illinois College

If you do not have a SWIC student ID#, please fill out the New Student Information Form before making an appointment with an academic advisor. If returning to the college after an absence, please ensure you have access to your eSTORM account and SWIC student email (if you need login help, please contact Tech Assistance).

How to Book an Advising Appointment

Once registered with the college, each student is assigned an advisor based on their Academic Program. Your designated advisor’s name and email can be found on your Student Center page in eSTORM.

Next, simply click on the advisor’s Appointment link below to choose a date and time for your in-person meeting. In some cases, virtual appointments may also be available.

*Students with a declared program but aren’t yet assigned an advisor can choose an advisor from the discipline below that closely matches their career interests.
