Advising
Pathway advisors are available to guide students in choosing the correct Academic Pathway, degree or certificate program. Pathway advisors also assist students in selecting the appropriate courses for their degree or certificate program, and/or for transfer to 4-year institution.
New Student Advising
All new students who have never attended college are required to meet with a Pathway Advisor. An Advisor will provide students with information about Guided Pathways, 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. Advising meeting types are selected when making an appointment on Navigate. Students can select in-person, phone or virtual advising sessions.
Continuing Student Advising
It is highly recommended that all continuing students contact a Pathway Advisor each semester as they progress through their educational programs. Pathway 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.
Online Advising
Students can meet with an Advisor in-person, virtually or by phone. Students can select their preferred meeting type on CCA Navigate in MyCCA. If students do not have an advisor assigned to them they can call 303-360-4929 or email Advising@CCAurora.edu. Replies are typically provided within 48 hours.
Non-Degree Seeking Students
Students who are enrolling in coursework for a job upgrade or personal development are also encouraged to contact a Pathway Advisor prior to registration.
Financial Aid Student Advising
All students receiving financial aid should contact a Pathway 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.
