Advisors help each student tailor an academic program to fit the student’s interests, goals, and abilities within the criteria set by the faculty leading toward completion of a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication, depending on the student’s major. Advisors serve as sources of information about university and college policies, procedures and appropriate campus resources. They help each student explore career related goals and seek practical experiences.

   3. Click the blue “Appointments” button in the upper right-hand corner.
   4. From the drop-box asking which office, select “Communication and Information Advising”.
   5. From the next drop-box titled “Service”, select the type of appointment you need:
      • Advising for COMM & INFO – Current CCI students
      • “Change to” – Students outside of CCI who wish to declare that major
   6. Choose a date that works best for you.  If you are a CCI student, then it will default to your advisor’s available time.  You should only schedule with your advisor. If you do not see availability on that day, please go back and try a few different days.
   7. Select the available time (Eastern time) that works for you and follow the instructions on the screen to finish scheduling the appointment. Note: It helps us better prepare for your appointment if you add what you need help with in the comments section.
