Advisors
Most advising in the College of Architecture, Art and Construction occurs between students and their advisors, who are housed in their respective departments. Meetings take place at least once per semester, and this one-on-one advising begins at Orientation and continues through graduation.
Students can make an appointment by contacting their advisor directly. Advisors are listed in CU Navigate. If there is no assigned advisor, students may email the lead advisor for their major (listed below) for more information.
