Fall Advising starts on March 26th!
Fall academic advising begins Tuesday, March 26th. For students who plan to take classes off-campus, you may schedule sooner as some colleges are opening registration earlier. Check your college email for specific registration dates or contact your advisor. If you are unsure of who your advisor is, please check Infinite Campus.
The Advising meeting is a vital component of the Colorado Early College model as the time helps to ensure your student is on track for graduation and working towards appropriate post-secondary goals. During this time, we meet with every student and their parent/guardian to update the Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP).
Meetings may be in person or virtual.
During the advising meeting we will:
- Review grades and attendance
- Discuss goals for graduation and post-graduation
- Make sure the appropriate degree/certificate is declared and run a Degree Check
- Determine the appropriate classes for the next semester
- Review your academic plan
All academic plans are subject to change based on availability, student grades, attendance and Accuplacer scores.
