Academic advising is a key element to your success. Through regular contact with an academic advisor, students are assisted in planning educational goals, completing degrees, and achieving successful transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
Advising is available on a drop-in basis, Mondays through Thursdays, 8-5:30, and Fridays, 8-4:30 at both the CentreTech Campus, 303-360-4797, and the Lowry Campus, Building 903, 303-340-7093. Online advising is available at onlineadvisor@ccaurora.edu.
Our Mission
The primary purpose of the CCA Advising Center is to assist and empower students in the development of meaningful educational plans that are compatible with their life goals. The ultimate responsibility for making decisions about educational plans and life goals rests with the individual student. The Advising Center should assist by helping to identify and assess alternatives and the consequences of decisions.
New Student Advising
All new degree-seeking students are required to contact an academic advisor to discuss goals and degree program requirements. Students enrolling for job upgrade or personal development are encouraged but not required to see an academic advisor. Degree advising guides can assist students in planning the right courses on the
Programs and Classes link.
New students are also encouraged to register for
the fall semester College 101 (AAA 101) to learn all the
essentials of becoming a successful college student.
Continuing Student Advising
Advising for continuing students in good academic standing is not mandatory, except for financial aid and international students (F1 status). All students should maintain contact with their academic advisor so that optimum benefits from their educational program can be achieved.
