Academic Advisement

Identify, plan, and achieve your career and academic goals with support from Academic Advising Services.  Academic Advising Services provides students guidance and support in choosing a program of study that best aligns with their future aspirations.

Advisors assist students with academic planning and goal setting, to ensure a clear pathway to graduation.  When obstacles occur, academic advisors can connect you to student support services and other campus resources to get you back on track.

New-to-college students can seek academic advisement by following our college’s Enrollment Steps.  As part of our Enrollment Steps, new students complete Coyote Kickoff which is a self-paced online pre-advisement-workshop, followed by an initial advising appointment with an academic advisor.  Advisors will review program requirements and class placement, then recommend your first-semester classes to enroll in. 

If you are not a first-time college student, you are encouraged to make a virtual appointment with an academic advisor aligned with your program of study. Students must be currently admitted to the college in order to make a scheduled appointment with an advisor via the college's Advisement website.  It is recommended that all prior credit has officially been transferred and evaluated before making an appointment.

Academic Advising Services are available by appointment and virtually at cgc.edu/advisement.  We are located in the Coyote Center Building, on the Pecos campus, and Bluford Hall, on the Williams campus.  We also can be reached by emailing advisement@cgc.edu.
