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
ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Here are just some of the ways the CCPS-UAC can help you achieve your degree goals:
- Degree Planning. Academic Advisors help students make informed choices about degree and graduation requirements. They can help clarify curriculum, course content, and optimal course sequences. Advisors will also enhance student awareness of diverse educational experiences to further enrich the academic plan.
- Goal Setting. Academic Advisors can assist students with the clarification of career and life goals; development of decision-making skills; reinforcement of self-direction; and evaluation of student progress toward established goals.
- Outreach & Support. Academic Advisors can assist students with academic support needs through individual sessions, group workshops, and connections with educational resources across the university.
- Policies & Procedures. Students are responsible for their role in the academic process and navigating the university system. Academic Advisors can help clarify university policies and procedures to enhance the student’s ability to participate in the academic process.
- Referrals. Academic Advisors can refer students to faculty mentors, other campus services and student success resources.
