Advising and Registration

Advising

Advisors are available to assist students with choosing the best degree and or certificate that fits their interest and academic/career goals.  Advisors will work with students to create an academic success plan(s) to complete their degree/certificate, and or transfer to a 4-year institution.  Advisors will provide students with information about degree programs and courses offered; guidance on selecting classes, and assistance with creating a class schedule for each semester.

Students can meet with their advisor:

• In-person
• Virtually
• Phone

Students can select their preferred meeting type using CCA Navigate in MyCCA. 

If students do not have an advisor assigned to them or do not know who their advisor is, they can call 303-360-4929 or email advising@ccaurora.edu

Registration

In advance of registration opening each semester, CCA publishes a schedule of course offerings online.

Late Registration

To promote student success, CCA strongly recommends that students plan in advance for the courses in which they enroll. After classes start, registration for full-term classes is not permitted after the self-registration deadline passes and students will be referred to accelerated, second session, and late start courses. Accelerated course registration is not permitted after the start date of the course. For further information, call Registration and Records at 303-360-4797.

Schedule Changes

Students may change their schedules (add/drop) after they have registered, until the start of the course. Below are the general policies related to change of schedule:

1. The drop period extends from the beginning of registration through the refund date published in the Schedule of Classes. Students may only add classes through the start of the semester. After the semester begins, registration is not permitted and students will be referred to accelerated, second session, or late start courses. See the Registration and Records Office, CentreTech Campus, Administration Building, or the Student Services office, Lowry Campus, West Quad, Room 119 for deadlines on classes that are not semester long.
2. Students will be assessed additional tuition and fees if credit hours added exceed hours dropped.
3. Students may add/drop through online registration, in the Registration and Records Office, CentreTech Campus, Administration Building, Room A118, or in the Student Services office, Lowry Campus, West Quad, Room 119.

Credit Hour Overload

Students may be allowed to register for more than 18 credit hours for the fall and spring semester and 15 credit hours for the summer semester if they have approval from an Advisor; this is dependent upon a GPA of 3.25 and evidence that the student can succeed.

Drop for No Show

Although it is ultimately the responsibility of a student to drop a class that they do not plan to attend, CCA faculty members may report students who have not attended or submitted course assignments (exams, discussions, assignments, etc.) as a "No Show" which will cause the student to be dropped from the class for the semester. To avoid being dropped, please plan to attend the early sessions of your class(es) and ensure that you meet all assignment deadlines. Contacting your instructor prior to the drop with refund deadline (census), is not valid attendance/participation. If you were dropped for no-show or non-participation, you will not be permitted to reenroll in that course and will be referred to accelerated or late start course options, if available.

Depending on course delivery method a no show is a student who has never attended a course and/or has not submitted a content based assignment.  Class introductions or logging into the course online, is not considered participation.
