The Importance of Advisement

Understanding degree requirements, choosing courses, and registering for classes can be confusing. Although students have the ultimate responsibility for knowing and meeting degree requirements, they do not have to navigate the system alone! Seeking help from an advisor is not only required, but the smartest and easiest way for a student to complete his or her degree.

Advisement within Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership is offered through a combination of faculty and professional staff.

The professional staff of the Colin Powell School Advising Office can help students in many ways:

•   Advising students who wish to learn more about Colin Powell School majors.
•   Advising students who are considering a change of major.
•   Monitoring and guiding students who are struggling academically.

•   Assisting you with information about many CCNY policies, such as: Waivers, Study Abroad, Late Registrations, Late Withdrawals, Leave of Absence, Graduation Requirements, and Courses at Other Institutions
•   Connecting students to other CCNY services, such as: Office of Student Affairs, Financial Aid, Writing Center, Career counseling, Counseling Center, Academic Resources, and Residential Life etc.
