Starting in Fall 2022, all undergraduate students received an assigned advisor to help with academic planning, questions or concerns. Students are assigned to advisors based on majors, options, and other logistical factors. Your advisor is a dedicated advisor and assigned to work specifically with their assigned students because they are partnering closely with the department to ensure you have the most updated information to make progress towards graduation.

Other advisors may be available on a drop-in basis. Visit the advising center's website for more information, or CPP Connect to view drop-in availability for “General Advising for Non-Assigned Students.”

We are confident you will get the opportunity to build a supportive and productive relationship with your advisor. If you have additional questions or concerns, email cppconnect@cpp.edu.

Connecting with Your Academic Advisor

You can view your assigned advisor's appointment or drop-in availability in CPP Connect. Advisors are available in person and in virtual formats throughout the year.

You can reach out any time, but your advisor may also reach out to you to check-in ahead of registration periods or other important milestones in your academic journey. Monitor your CPP email to ensure you do not miss any advising related communication.

Your College Advising Center has regular drop-in hours for quick questions. Visit the advising directory for their website.

Your academic advisor will provide an equitable and inclusive environment where you can discuss academic, career, and personal goals, ask questions and get resources, and develop the skills that will support your success at CPP and beyond.

Your advisor will assist with curriculum, degree/college requirements, graduation requirements, and university policies and procedures. They can also help you to think about your personal, academic, and career goals, and explore the steps to get you there. Lastly, they will serve as an advocate and liaison. They may refer you to other campus programs for assistance.

  • Review your Degree Progress Report (DPR) and Curriculum Sheet to identify classes you need.
  • Prepare a list of questions to bring with you and have some way to take notes.
  • Always use and check your CPP email.
