COURSE SEARCH

Academic advising at Bristol is a cornerstone of student support, providing a caring and consistent presence throughout your college experience. Advisors are there to guide students through the academic journey, offering a friendly face when you're unsure of your path, and assisting with tasks like academic planning, change of major and course selection. They're also your go-to resource for learning about student services like tutoring, co-op experiences, career planning, transfer advising and job placement. When in doubt, check with your Advisor. We’ll always be happy to see you!

What is an Alternate PIN and how do they work? Certain student populations are assigned a "Pin" Number. Pin numbers are assigned to certain student populations to ensure that they meet with an advisor to register. The Pin numbers are six digits long and will need to be entered each time the student adjusts their schedule for the semester that the pin is assigned. Below are some of the reasons a student may have been assigned a PIN:

  • Students who have a GPA of a 2.49 or below
  • Students who have completed less than 30 credits
  • Students who have received an Incomplete, Withdraw, or a Failing Grade the previous semester.
  • Students who are a part of a special group: English as a Second Language, Allied Health, Veterans, and Athletes

If you have a PIN assigned, please make sure to see an Academic Advisor to support your registration!
