Academic advising is necessary to ensure that all students are in compliance with state TASP and Lamar State College-Orange policies. Participation in continuous academic advising is vital to students' academic successes. Thus, students are expected to participate in the advising process throughout their careers on the Lamar State College-Orange campus. All first-time students, students with fewer than 15 credit hours, students with undecided majors, and students who have not completed TASP requirements are required to register through the Advising and Counseling Center.

After successful completion of TASP and 15 credit hours, students are assigned faculty advisors by the Academic Affairs Office. Continuing students should meet with their faculty advisors at least once every semester to review their academic progress and to ensure that all prerequisites and program requirements are being met.
