Advising
Advising
Academic advisors are available to guide students in choosing the right Guided Academic Pathway, degree or certificate program. Advisors also assist students in selecting the appropriate courses for their degree or certificate program, and/or for transfer to 4-year institutions and review incoming student unofficial transcripts for course exemptions. Please note: Advising does not perform official transcript reviews. Advising services are provided on a walk-in basis and by appointment: CTC Monday-Thursday, 8:00AM-5:30PM, and Friday, 8:30AM- 4:30PM and Lowry Student Services Monday-Thursday, 8:30AM-5:00PM, and Friday 8:30AM-4:30PM. Appointments can be scheduled by accessing the following link: http://www.ccaurora.edu/getting-started/make-appointment. Limited appointments may be available during peak registration (December, January, July and August). Additional information is available in the Advising Department, CentreTech Campus, Administration Building, Room A106, 303-360-4797, and at the Lowry Campus, West Quad, Room 119, 303-340-7093, or online at www.CCAurora.edu/students/getting-started/advising.
New Student Advising
All new students who have never attended college will receive group advising as a part of New Student Orientation. Students who need further assistance will be encouraged to make an individual advising appointment with Advising. New student orientation will provide students with information about academic programs, certificates and degree options. Students will also receive information and assistance needed to select and enroll in appropriate coursework, receive assistance with creating class schedules, and learn how to register for classes.
Continuing Student Advising
It is highly recommended that all continuing students meet with an advisor periodically as they progress through their educational programs. Advisors will help ensure students stay on track to achieve their educational goals. F-1 Visa students must meet with the International Student Advisor every semester prior to registration. Failure to do so may result in termination of their I-20.
On-line Advising
Students can email the online advisor at OnlineAdvisor@CCAurora.edu using their college assigned e-mail account. Replies are provided by the next business day or before.
Non-Degree Seeking Students
Students who are enrolling in coursework for a job upgrade or personal development are also encouraged to contact an advisor prior to registration.
Financial Aid Student Advising
All students receiving financial aid should contact an advisor prior to registering for classes to ensure satisfactory progress toward degree or certificate objectives. Financial Aid pays only for coursework that applies directly to a degree or certificate.
