The College for Creative Studies believes that academic advising is a developmental process that assists students in the clarification of life, education, and career goals. Academic Advisors assist students in the development of educational plans and provide direction to help them achieve their goals.
The Academic Advising and Registration Office provides a variety of services including assistance with course selection, student registration, guidance, and assistance with registration forms and procedures, referrals to the Center for Tutoring and Writing, providing course equivalency guides for local colleges, resolution of transfer credit issues, documenting student absences, processing Mobility Program applications, etc. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their assigned Academic 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 are responsible for ensuring that students are making satisfactory progress toward their degree. The Academic Advisors annually review the Academic Evaluations of all students. Students who are identified as not making satisfactory progress toward their degree will receive a letter from the Academic Advising and Registration Office indicating that an “advising hold” has been placed on their record and that they must make an appointment with their assigned advisor to address the issue(s). Students with an “advising hold” will not be allowed to register for the upcoming semester until the issue(s) have been resolved.
Incoming students are registered by their Academic Advisor in their first semester. In the second semester and onward, students may register online via WebAdvisor or Student Planning or with their Academic Advisor. Students are able to check grades, search for classes, register online, add/drop classes, and pay tuition online. Faculty can view advisees, check current class rosters, and view class schedules. Enrolled students will receive a username and password for access to the Self-Service system.
CCS has two libraries:
You must show a current CCS ID in order to check out library materials. The library’s online catalog is accessible on the Internet here. Access to the online catalog, as well as to the Library’s electronic databases, is also available here, where students can search for books, periodicals, and materials placed on reserve by instructors. From the catalog’s main menu you can access your patron record to see what books and DVDs you have checked out, what their due dates are, and if you have overdue books.
Fines for overdue books are 20 cents per book per day. Other materials have varying fines; please check at the circulation desk. All lost or unreturned items will be charged the replacement cost plus a $30.00 processing fee. Accounts must be paid in full in order to receive grades and transcripts.

There are over 600 students living in CCS student housing. The housing consists of apartment style units in the Art Centre Building and loft style units in the A. Alfred Taubman Center.
We have a dedicated and energetic staff of 10 resident assistants in the Art Centre Building and 8 resident assistants in the A. Alfred Taubman Center. The resident assistants are upper class students that assist residents and plan programs and activities. Programs and activities are designed to build great communities within the buildings and to provide those bonds that will last a lifetime.
In addition to the resident assistants, there are professional staff members who live in the ACB and in the A. Alfred Taubman Center.
All housing policies are listed in the Student Housing Information booklet that is handed out when students move into housing. Students are responsible for reading and following these policies. If you have not received this booklet, please contact housing to receive one.
Students wishing to do a work-study job on campus should first review the list of postings on Blackboard to determine if there are any jobs currently available they meet the qualifications for. Once an appropriate job is located, students can contact the supervisor listed to set up an interview. The interview is an important part of the process and should be taken seriously – supervisors will choose the student they feel is most suitable in terms of skills and demeanor.
Once you have secured a job, you will fill hiring forms with your supervisor, which are submitted to the Financial Aid Office. In addition, students need to complete tax forms (available in the Human Resources Office) and provide documentation of their identity and citizenship status. Students should not begin working until all these documents are provided to the appropriate offices and confirmation is received that they have been processed.
International students are eligible for work-study but will need to go through the additional step of obtaining a Social Security number and card. Contact Dorin Campbell at (313) 664-7497 for more information.
Students are compensated for hours worked through bi-weekly paychecks. In order for your check to be processed for the following pay date, your timesheet must be submitted according to your supervisor’s stated schedule. Due to the tight schedule for payroll processing, there may be very short time frames in which to submit your hours.
All work-study students are encouraged to sign up for direct deposit. Direct deposit forms are available in the Financial Aid or Human Resources offices.
