Academic Advising at CCAC
Our Academic Advisors can help you explore our programs, schedule you for classes,
explain CCAC academic policy, and refer you to other CCAC resources. CCAC provides
a combination of in-person and virtual academic advising services to meet your busy
schedule!
Academic advising at CCAC is available to potential students interested in learning more about a program or course, current students enrolled with the college, and returning students who have completed at least one credit course at the college.

Dual Enrollment Students
If this is your first time enrolling in dual enrollment classes, please visit the Welcome Center. Certain courses in math, science, and English may require placement testing. If you are unsure if placement tests are needed, you can discuss this with an advisor.
Each semester, please submit the CCAC Dual Enrollment Parent/Guardian Authorization Form and send a copy of your most up to date high school transcript to dualenrollment@ccac.edu.
Once these steps are complete, you are ready to speak with an advisor to select your classes. See your options for meeting with an advisor below!
