Academic Advisors

Each CCA student has an academic advisor in their major. Your academic advisor will help you schedule classes, read your degree audit and assist you with career advice. First year students will have an academic advisor assigned in the first week of September. The Chief Departmental Advisors (listed below) can help with more complicated departmental advising questions and with course substitutions for curriculum requirements.

Note to Parents

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, commonly known as FERPA, provides students with a right of access to their education records, permits students to challenge the accuracy of the records, and prohibits the non-consensual release of such information except in limited circumstances. In order to comply with Federal Law, we can only release records to parents if students are claimed as dependents on Federal income taxes, or with written consent of the student.
