CCI Undergraduate Advising
On Demand Advising during Welcome Week!
HOW CAN THE ADVISING CENTER HELP YOU?
The Advising Center in the College of Computing and Informatics has professional advisors who assist existing and potential undergraduate Computer Science (CS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) students. Academic Advisors assist current undergraduate and potential CCI majors with the following:
- Planning academic progress and scheduling courses to help students graduate on-time
- Identifying which CCI academic programs fit with student interests
- Assist students with the early stages of professional development
- Navigating CCI and UNC Charlotte policies and procedures
- Referring students to the appropriate resources, such as:
- Personal and academic support
- Career development
- Research opportunities
- Graduate school
Note: Students in the Data Science major, Sports Analytics major, and Sports Analytics certificate are advised by the School of Data Science. Graduate students in CCI should seek advising assistance through their assigned Assistant Director of Graduate Programs.
Current UNC Charlotte Students: Make an appointment with advisors via Connect (connect.charlotte.edu). If no appointment times are available, email your advisor to schedule an appointment. You find your primary advisor’s information in Connect and/or DegreeWorks.
