What Students Are Saying...

My advisor was always willing and readily available to help with any problems that may have arisen during the course of my undergraduate career. My advisor was one of the most helpful resources available to me personally to keep me on track. --Katie

The purpose of the College of Community & Public Service Undergraduate Advising Center (CCPS-UAC) is to provide convenient, accessible, and accurate academic advising and support for all students interested in programs housed within the College.

The academic advising process is a collaborative relationship where the student is encouraged and supported by the advisor as they develop the skills necessary to realize their academic and professional goals and facilitate timely degree completion. Students should plan to meet with their academic advisor at least once per semester to discuss goals and interests and review their academic plan.

The College of Community and Public Service Undergraduate Advising Center provides advising assistance and information for the following undergraduate programs:

  • Criminal Justice
  • Hospitality and Tourism Management
  • Legal Studies
  • Public and Nonprofit Administration
  • Social Work
