Academic Advising Program

Undergraduate Students are assigned to an AARO Academic Advisor based on major. International Undergraduate/Graduate students are assigned to an ISSO Academic Advisor. Graduate and Teacher Certification (TC) students will meet one-on-one with their assigned Advisor from AARO or ISSO. Undergraduate Students are “required” to meet with their assigned AARO/ISSO Academic Advisor during the first semester and in preparation for their senior year. Advising assistance is provided to all students throughout the academic year via workshops, group advising sessions, and one-on-one appointments.

Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their assigned advisor each semester to ensure that they are taking the required courses for graduation as they strive to attain their personal and educational goals. Academic Advisors routinely review academic evaluations to ensure progress is being made. Students who are identified as not making satisfactory progress toward their degree will receive a notification from the AARO; a restriction/hold may be applied to the student’s account, if applicable. Students with an “advising hold” will not be allowed to register for the upcoming semester and are required to make an appointment with their assigned advisor to address the issue(s).

Students will find their assigned CCS Academic Advisors and Mentors listed in their Self-
Service/Student Planning accounts.
