Academic Advising

CBA Undergraduate Programs provides academic advising regarding course selection and registration, transfer credit, academic probation and progress made toward your degree. It will be the student's responsibility to make certain that he/she is fulfilling the degree requirements. Therefore, the college strongly recommends that all continuing students meet with an advisor for a credit evaluation each semester.
