Happy New Year from the staff of the CCPS Undergraduate Advising Center! This academic year is already halfway done and we just don't know where the time has gone! Although we had a delayed start to this semester, our office has been very busy to meet the needs of CCPS students!
Our office has had over 850 appointments with current students in this first half of the year and also welcomed about 45 new students for winter semester through the transfer and new student orientation process. Now we are gearing up for the next cycle of new admits who will begin orientation in March. We are also continuing to work with our current students to get ready for the March registration cycle. It's important that students meet with our office at least once a year to review their academic plans. Please encourage students you are in contact with to meet with an advisor and stay on track toward their degree goals.
We are getting a chance to take a deeper look at data we have been collecting and it indicates that we see on average 77% of the enrolled CCPS students at least once in the academic year! Considering that we do not have mandatory advising this is an amazing number of students who are using the services we provide!
We are continuing our search for the two open advising positions in our office and hope to have some news by the next newsletter (fingers crossed!).
Please remember to review our monthly newsletter (available the second Monday of the month) for news and information from our office that will benefit you and your students! Happy New Year!
