Advising

Keeping on Track

Meeting regularly with your academic advisors is a key step towards your success here at CPP! You'll want to consult with the College advising staff for general academic advising, and with your designated History advisor for specific History questions! Check out the links below! (Pictured at right: Dr. Eileen Wallis, the CLASS Advisor of the Year in 2018).

General Advising

For general advising (general education classes, University procedures, etc.), contact the CLASS Student Center (Building 5, Room 288). 

History Advising

History majors and potential majors should meet regularly with their assigned academic advisor (assigned alphabetically by last name – see below) or another faculty member to discuss History course selection, the “core” courses of the major, senior thesis, career options, etc. For special cases (first-year students, pre-credential majors, etc.) see the last section ("Special History Advising.")
