Advising

The Advising Office provides support through one-on-one guidance as you carve out, stitch together, and create your own story at CCAD. Throughout a student's CCAD experience, advisors can review individual academic plans, assist with schedule preparation, help to identify student academic goals, and discuss concerns about the academic experience. Advisors can also review academic options, including a variety of majors, minors, and concentrations.
 


Schedule an Appointment

CCAD Advising strives to be highly accessible to all students in transition. We offer appointment in-person in Crane Center 140 or virtually via Google Meet. Students with questions may also contact us at advising@ccad.edu.

If you schedule a Google Meet appointment, your advisor will email you a Google calendar invite with a link to join the call on the day of your appointment. Your advisor will join the call at your scheduled appointment time. Please be prompt and ready to join the call at your scheduled appointment time. If we are unable to reach you or if you arrive to a video call more than 10 minutes late, you may be asked to reschedule.

Advance notice is required for scheduling and cancelling all appointments. We may not be able to accommodate same-day appointment requests. This is to your benefit so we can plan carefully for your appointments.
