  To ensure students are taking the right courses, in the right sequence, we offer Academic Advising. It's important to meet with your Academic Advisor at least once per quarter to review your progress and plan your courses for the next quarter. To schedule an appointment email academics@neumont.edu, or stop by the Academic Advising office on the 2nd floor to sign up for an available appointment. Additionally, students are each assigned a Student Advocate. Your Advocate will check your schedule and progress toward graduation and contact you if there seems to be a problem with your academic performance.

• Academic Programs

  Neumont's academic programs are designed to get you in,  educated, and on with your career, in as little as 500 days of class. That's ten, intense, ten week quarters where you'll attend classes five days per week, up to eight hours per day, with a one hour lunch break in the middle. At the end of every ten week quarter you'll take a well deserved two or three week break before starting up courses again, and keep this pace all year long.  For more information on Neumont's academic timeline, quarters, and courses, click here.
