It has been suggested the relationship students have with their advisor can help these students to be successful at the college. The purpose of this study was to determine if students observed a connection between their success and the relationship they have with their advisor. This qualitative study focused on the view of current community college students who had been or were currently enrolled in a remedial course in a Midwestern community college. Students were asked to participate in an online survey that consisted of 12 questions. Once the survey results were collected, the responses were analyzed for common responses and trends. The results showed that the majority of students felt their advisor did play a role in their overall success, thoughts about how this happens still vary.enAcademic advisingCommunity collegesUnderprepared studentsStudent-advisor relationshipsMaster of EducationDepartment of EducationCollege of Education and Human Service ProfessionsUniversity of Minnesota DuluthPlan Cs (coursework-based master's degrees)Faculty advisorsCommunity college studentsEducational counselingAcademic achievementScholarly Text or Essay
