Student Advising

College of Education Academic Advising

The goal of the College of Education Advising Center is to assist in preparing highly qualified professionals to serve the evolving needs of our world. Advisors provide academic support for all students interested in CoE majors, including current and prospective students, and participate in recruitment activities. Advising takes a holistic approach to student success providing mentoring with a focus on retention and diversity to prepare students to serve others.

Academic Advisors work with all College of Education students, Clemson students interested in changing their major to an education program, transfer students seeking a program within the college, and prospective students considering coming to Clemson. All students are encouraged to make appointments with an advisor in their intended major.

Students can schedule an appointment with their advisor by using CU Navigate. Students can download the “Student Navigate” mobile app available in Apple or Google Play or they can visit CU Navigate online. After logging in to CU Navigate, students will select “Schedule an Appointment” and follow the prompts.
