Self Advised Information

Self-advising is an option for continuing COCC students who are in good academic standing and have a defined degree goal and want to make progress independent of an advisor. Students should be able to identify the degree they are seeking, the requirements within that degree, and the COCC courses they are taking to meet specific requirements.

To be self-advised, students provide information which demonstrates their mastery of the knowledge indicated above. It is not an appropriate option for a student who wants to register quickly and does not want to wait for a time to meet with an advisor. It is also not an appropriate option for students on academic warning.

To request self-advised status, copy the following information into an email and provide the information requested. Send to capservices@cocc.edu. Please allow four business days for a response.
