Academic Advising

Academic advising assists students in establishing and achieving their academic, career, and transfer goals. CT State students have access to both trained professional advisors (Guided Pathways Advisors) as well as faculty content experts (Faculty Advisors). Students should meet with their advisor(s) at least once per semester and more often as needed. General information about advising and campus contacts are available on the CT State Advising webpage. Students are assigned specific advisors during their first semester; these are noted on their degree audits in the myCTState portal.

Faculty Advising

Faculty are the foremost experts on their specific discipline or program and play an integral role in supporting the student's academic, career, and transfer planning. Students should connect with their assigned faculty advisor to discuss program options and details about the curriculum, student learning outcomes, and specifics of the degree or certificate program.
