Advising
Each entering student in the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts is assigned an academic advisor. Your advisor will guide you to articulate your goals, create your individualized plan of work, and identify other opportunities and resources that will enhance your growth and success. Your advisor serves as your primary guide and resource as you progress through your major, and he or she may refer you to the CFPCA Success Coach for additional support. For prospective students with questions about our programs, feel free to contact an advisor in your program of interest.
