Academic Advising
The Academic Advising Center is available to help students create a coursework plan that allows them to succeed at Morton College. Every new degree or certificate-seeking student should meet with a Student Success Coach. All students at Morton College are assigned a Student Success Coach. A Success Coach is assigned according to student program, as each coach holds a particular expertise in the program(s) they advise on. All students will have the opportunity to maintain a consistent relationship from start to finish with their Student Success Coach as students are guided through a comprehensive pathway toward their academic goals and success.
Academic Advising is a teaching and learning partnership between coaches and students designed to promote and support students as they explore opportunities. Through this partnership, Student Success Coaches will challenge students to develop autonomy and build skills necessary for success as they embark on a journey of academic, personal, and professional growth.
Frequent advisor contact will help to ensure that students have current academic information and are making progress toward his/her educational goals.

Students can obtain more information and reserve their seat by calling (708) 656-8000, Ext. 2250 or stopping by the Academic Advising Center, located in the B Building, 1st. Floor.
NSO Part I
New Student Orientation can be completed at the convenience of the student online, only after students have successfully taken the placement exam for both English and Math at Morton College. The online orientation should take approximately one hour long, and includes quizzes after each module and will allow you to save your space if you need to return to it at another time.

Placement Testing Center
The Placement Testing Center administers placement tests in English and math to measure current skills. All students are required to complete placement testing if they are:
- Enrolling in an English composition course
- Enrolling in a math course
- Pursuing a degree or certificate program at Morton College requiring English or math
English and math course placements are available through multiple methods allowing a student to potentially bypass the placement test process. The alternate methods can include minimum ACT or SAT scores, GED scores, appropriate high school coursework with minimum grade performance or consent of the instructor. Students who do not meet any of the minimum standards of these multiple methods would be required to complete the ACCUPLACER placement exam to determine course eligibility. Test scores do have an expiration date from the time of administration. Please check with your Student Success Coach for current alternate placement methods, minimum requirements and test score expirations.
MC does not currently accept placement test results from other colleges or universities. Before testing at MC, students must fill out the College’s online application and be assigned a student ID number. Test scores are valid for two years from the date of administration and students are given two tests attempts to determine a best placement. Students who have begun their developmental course sequence and who have been enrolled in those developmental courses within the past two years are ineligible for retesting. For testing appointments, stop by the Academic Advising Department, in the One Stop Center or call 708-656-8000, Extension 2250.
ACCUPLACER review materials and study resources are available from Academic Advising and through our website - www.morton.edu
ACCUPLACER review classes in Language Arts and/or Mathematics are also available to help students prepare for the placement test. Contact the Community Education Department for more specific information in Building C, Room 223 or call (708)-656-8000, Extension 2281.
In an effort to provide the most appropriate English and math placements, the College will periodically review the course placement criteria. Morton College reserves the right to adjust these criteria at any time. In the event of score changes, students currently enrolled in English or math course sequences will be allowed to complete those sequences. However, students who have not started their course sequence will be held to the criteria that are in effect at the time of their registration.
