Your Advising Team

From your first semester through graduation, your CCP advising team can help you:

  • Identify and Map your Pathway – support course selections that align with your goals and interests
  • Register for Courses & Prep for Class – Utilizing tools & resources for success in college (tutoring center, self-advocacy, time management, college transfer planning, etc.)

What to expect during advising:

Conversations we have during advising help us start understand the bigger picture of you — and help you get to know us! We want to know how we can we best support you during CCP. Here are some questions you can expect from your advisor:

  • Tell us about you — interests, goals, etc! What got you interested in CCP? What outcomes would you like to see? Any high school graduation requirements are you seeking to fulfill with CCP? How many high school credits are you taking? What about other time commitments (job, extracurriculars, etc.)? Does this differ in fall/spring/summer? How do you learn best? What careers are interesting to you? What might you already know about education/training needed?

Knowing your current activities, time commitments and future goals allows us to provide you guidance that is relevant for you and your plans — even if they change!
