Academic Advising

Advising & Coaching Services

Welcome to Advising and Coaching Services Department.

Our advisors/success coaches provide crucial assistance for new students who need help navigating the ins and outs of CSN. They can also help every student gain the skills needed to succeed in college. Specifically, the department provides the following:

• Academic advising and course planning for new to CSN and first-time college students, undecided students without a declared major and Associate of General Studies (AGS) Students
• Skill-coaching in time management, self-advocacy, goal clarification, study skills and the development of personal plans for academic success
• Clarification of institutional policies and procedures
• Referrals to other campus resources
• Coyote Orientation & Registration Events (CORE)
• ACS chat room and email
• E-ALERT referrals from faculty

NOTE: Academic advising for returning and continuing students with a declared major must meet with an academic counselor in your designated major. Your major will fall under one of CSN’s six academic schools.
