The First-Year Academic Advising Center
Welcome

Welcome to the First-Year Academic Advising Center!  Our center provides academic counseling to all first-year students at CCU during their first two semesters.  With a staff of full-time professionals, student staff, and outstanding peer leaders, we do our best to answer all questions, support students in their decisions, and provide information about anything on campus.

Please take time to look through our site to familiarize yourself with what we have to offer.  These pages are updated frequently, so please visit often.

The Academic Advising Center at Coastal Carolina University is dedicated to student learning and individual development. The advising center will establish a link to each school and their faculty. We in the Advising center are concerned with student achievement, student retention, evaluation of core learning objectives, and ongoing feedback leading to long term growth of the university. Our universities mission is to “develop students who are both knowledgeable in their chosen field and prepared to be productive, responsible, healthy citizens with a global perspective”. This philosophy will be reflected in the advising center where all advisors will:

  • assist students with understanding and acceptance of yourself and others
  • assist students in establishing their goals for college and life by understanding the relationship between their interests, skills, abilities, and values
  • assist students in developing an educational plan consistent with their life goals and objectives
  • increase the decision-making effectiveness of our students
  • provide accurate information on institutional policies, resources, procedures and additional programs in a timely manner
  • identify the needs of our students early in the semester to refer students to institutional and community support services including but not limited to; The Writing Center, Math Lab, Foreign Language Instructional Center, Computer Labs and other student services such as Counseling and Career Services
  • teach students how to evaluate their progress toward goal fulfillment
  • incorporate core technologies through My Coastal, Web Advisor and Blackboard

Coastal Carolina University is a premiere academic institution serving the needs of her students. The Advising Center is cognizant of our mandate and will strive to continue the tradition of excellence in serving our students and the Coastal Carolina Community.
