Definition of Academic Advising:

Academic Advising at Central Connecticut State University is a developmental process which assists students in the realization of their career and life goals. It is ongoing and multifaceted. Academic advising includes:

  • Familiarization with institutional policies, procedures, campus resources and services

  • Familiarization with the general education curriculum, and major and minor program requirements

  • Development and clarification of short and long term goals

  • Development of an educational plan consistent with those goals

Academic advising empowers students to realize their maximum educational potential through critical thinking and good decision making.
