Academic Advising
CASA is the academic home for all incoming first-year and transfer students. Through professional advisement services, CASA guides all students through the core curriculum
until the student has begun major-specific coursework and is ready to declare their major. Regardless of academic interest or intended major, CASA Academic Advising Coordinators work individually with students in a holistic and developmental manner. Students receive invaluable advice on course sequences, class planning and major choice (if applicable).
