Academic Advising at CCAC


Our academic advisors can help you explore our programs, schedule you for classes, explain CCAC academic policy and refer you to other CCAC resources. CCAC provides a combination of in-person and virtual academic advising services to meet your busy schedule!

Academic advising at CCAC is available to potential students interested in learning more about a program or course, current students enrolled with the college and returning students who have completed at least one credit course at the college.
