Advising

As the College Credit Plus program, we value the importance of academic advising and recognize the positive impact that it has on our students. Effective advising will allow you to make more informed choices concerning your academic goals. By working together, we will explore the expectations, risks, and benefits of the program, review the services and policies of UC, discuss educational plans, and make appropriate course selections.

Academic advising is available to all admitted CCP students taking courses at a partnering high school, on a UC campus, or online with a UC faculty mentor. Advising is mandatory if you are taking CCP courses online or on a UC camps. Participating in the CCP program is an important decision in pursuing college-level opportunities as a high school student and academic advising is helpful in that effort.

What to expect as a student

Faster-paced courses. It is important as a student to not only review your classwork, but to prepare for future lessons by completing assigned readings and staying on top of homework.

More study time is required. Expect to spend 2-3 hours a week, per credit hour enrolled, outside of the classroom to prepare for class, read textbooks/materials, review notes and group work, write assignments, and study for tests/exams, etc.

Need for proactivity. While your parents, guardians, and counselors can be great partners, you are responsible for communicating with your professors if you have questions or concerns about your progress in class.

Meet with your CCP advisor

If you are enrolled in the CCP program, you will work with an academic advisor from start to finish. As part of this partnership, you will meet regularly with your advisor and it's the expectation that you attend as scheduled. To ensure you are prepared, please check out our missed-appointment policy.

You can email your advisor or schedule an appointment in My Bearcat Network.
