Welcome Back CCC Students!
There are three types of advising teams, please schedule with your appropriate advisor. If you do not know who to schedule with, fill out the Find Your Advisor form and you will be connected with the appropriate advisors or resources.
Students with quick general questions that do not require an advising appointment may submit an Advising Contact Form or contact Student Services at 928-226-4323. View the Advising FAQs for answers to frequently asked questions.
Advising Resources:
Did you meet with an advisor? Tell us how we did?
Thank you for taking the time to meet with our advisors. We are very interested in your advising experience and would appreciate your feedback. Please take a few minutes to complete our Student Satisfaction Survey. We look forward to meeting with you again!
What to do before your scheduled advising appointment
Prior to meeting with an academic advisor, new students must submit an online Admission Application, establish their residency status, and activate their myCCC portal. To complete the registration process, you can follow the steps included in the New Student Checklist.
Prior to or during the advising appointment, all students are expected to log into their myCCC portal, confirm Comet ID, student @ID or provide a photo ID, and securely upload necessary documents through the Secure Upload Tool (e.g. unofficial college transcripts, ACT or SAT test scores, high school transcripts within past 5 years, or GED scores).
There is a lot of information to learn as a CCC student. Check out the Online Student Handbook, a resourceful guide to navigating and utilizing campus resources and programs.
Please keep to your appointment, NO SHOWS will be noted. Check the student email regularly for important announcements and correspondence from your academic advisor.
Determining Proper Self-Placement into Classes
CCC will continue to utilize the self-placement assessment on the Course Placement page to determine the most accurate course selection in English and Math. Students who do not want to self-place may still use other self-placement measures such as ACT, SAT, ACCUPLACER, previously earned college credit, high school G.P.A., or GED test scores to determine course placement. It is important for students to make well-informed and wise self-placement decisions. Please meet with your advisor if you would like additional guidance. Inappropriate decisions about self-placement may affect the time it takes you to complete your certificate or degree and may impact your ability to receive financial aid and/or scholarships. Students with transfer credits must send all official transcripts to CCC Registration prior to class registration so they can be evaluated for equivalency or as a possible pre-requisite(s).

Special Requirements
Students must also meet the Special Requirements for the AGEC. This includes taking at least one course with an emphasis in each of the following areas:
Special Requirements: A complete AGEC includes special requirements. These requirements may be met within the 35+ hours of General Education Core Curriculum. A minimum of two courses must be taken to fulfill the three AGEC Special Requirements listed below:
W ‐ Intensive Writing / Critical Inquiry
E ‐ Ethnic, Race & Gender Awareness
C ‐ Contemporary Global / International or Historical Awareness
Special requirements attached to a course can be found by looking for a small E, C, or W next to a course listing on the AGEC list. For example:
ANT 102EC Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (3)
ART 100 Art Appreciation (3)
ANT 102 meets the special requirements for both the ‘E’ and the ‘C.’ If a student takes this course, they will still need to take one course with a ‘W’ to meet all their special requirements.
ART 100 is an AGEC class and will apply to the Arts & Humanities, but does not meet any special requirements.
Information about prerequisites and co‐requisites for a course are listed in bold at the end of the course title.
There is a key at the top of the AGEC list to help you:
*Key: PT = Placement Test, P/C = Pre or Co-requisite, REC = Recommended
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE AGEC TO CONSIDER:
- Some programs may specify which courses a student should take from the AGEC for their degree.
- Any course that is part of a student's Major Coursework is not applicable for AGEC credit toward that degree, regardless of whether the course is also an AGEC eligible course. Please see an academic advisor for specific information about which AGEC courses are required for your degree.
- AAS degrees contain most of the AGEC, but not the entire curriculum. If you are planning to transfer to another college or university, it is advised that you complete the AGEC prior to transferring.
- A completed AGEC will transfer as a block of credits to any Arizona public or tribal community college, or state university. If a student transfers before completing the AGEC, the courses will transfer individually and may be applied to the student's degree slightly differently than at the originating school.
- Completion of the AGEC with a GPA of 2.5 or higher guarantees admission to all three Arizona universities (NAU, ASU, UA).
- The AGEC list is updated annually to add new offerings and remove courses that are no longer being offered. Please see Student Affairs for a copy of the most recent AGEC list.

Advising Frequently Asked Questions
Who is my advisor?
CCC assigns you to specific advisors once you register for classes. We have two sets of advisors based on your plan. The first set of advisors are regular CCC Academic advisors. The second set of advisors is with CCC2NAU , for CCC students participating in their program. Some advisors are only available on certain days. Visit the Academic Advising page or call the Student Affairs reception at 928-226-4323 to schedule an appointment with your assigned advisor.
*CCC2NAU does not apply to current NAU students, current NAU students can schedule with the regular CCC Academic advisors.
Why is advising important?
Advising helps you connect to your educational journey, make informed decisions, and feel confident about your major and academic progress. We find that students who develop a supportive relationship with an advisor do very well at CCC and are able to build skills they will need after they leave CCC. You and your advisor are a team. Advisors are here to support you and provide a personalized connection. In turn, we ask that you do your best to be proactive, responsible, and responsive to our communications if we are concerned about you.
Can my advisor tell me what classes I place into?
Yes, advisors are ready to help you understand the placement process.
CCC will continue to utilize the self-placement assessment on the Course Placement page to determine the most accurate course selection in English and Math. Students who do not want to self-place may still use other self-placement measures such as ACT, SAT, ACCUPLACER, previously earned college credit, high school G.P.A., or GED test scores to determine course placement. It is important for students to make well-informed and wise self-placement decisions. Please meet with your advisor if you would like additional guidance. Inappropriate decisions about self-placement may affect the time it takes you to complete your certificate or degree and may impact your ability to receive financial aid and/or scholarships. Students with transfer credits must send all official transcripts to CCC Registration prior to class registration so they can be evaluated for equivalency or as a possible pre-requisite(s).
How many times do I need to see my advisor?
In the beginning, it is recommended you see your advisor well before the start of each term. Advising frequency is based on your needs. When you get more comfortable and confident in understanding your degree and expectations, you can opt for a quick check-in with your advisor through email. But, if you have a lot of questions or need extra support to plan and understand your courses, always schedule an appointment. Another reason for more frequent advising would be to discuss academic difficulty or problems understanding a policy. Visit our Academic Advising page to see what advising type fits your needs. Sometimes a 30-minute quick question appointment, phone or emailing is all you need.
How do I figure out how to add/drop or withdraw from a class?
Always discuss any changes or concerns about your class schedule with an advisor first. Some actions may also affect your financial aid and degree progression.
CCC's Enrollment Services provides Student How-to Guides on the basics regarding registration for classes. Your advisor can walk you through this after discussing your decision to make any changes.
I’m just taking classes at CCC so I can transfer to NAU. Is there anyone that can help me make sure I am taking what I should be taking?
Yes. If you plan to attend NAU and haven't attended NAU for the last two years, then joining the CCC2NAU program is a great option. They offer detailed advice to align with your bachelor’s degree plan at NAU. Familiarize yourself with the program and the next steps on their website.
*Note that CCC2NAU students must see their CCC2NAU advisors to stay on track and should always schedule an appointment.
What if I don’t want to go to NAU but somewhere else in the state of Arizona?
CCC has academic partnerships with Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, and Grand Canyon University. Students intending to transfer to another institution other than Northern Arizona University in the state of Arizona must meet with an academic advisor, specifically with Sonjia Jones. It is highly recommended you schedule a transfer planning appointment to learn about the resources available to prepare you for an easy transition from CCC to the university of your choosing. To get the most out of your advising appointment, you will need to know what major you plan to pursue and what term you are thinking of transferring. Most colleges recommend that you plan a year in advance. Transfer colleges visit CCC each term. CCC also hosts a transfer fair every year. For more information relating to CCC's academic partnership programs, visit the Transferring to Another Institution page.
I'm already an NAU student and I had academic difficulty. I heard I can take classes at CCC and then go back to NAU. What should I do first?
First and foremost, you are responsible for meeting with your NAU advisor within your college and forming a plan ahead of time. This means understanding the NAU policies that apply to your situation, looking up what courses will transfer back to NAU, and identifying courses that will help you the most. Please plan ahead. Once you have met your NAU advisor and have this information, you are then ready to schedule your advising appointment at CCC. When you come to your appointment, please be ready with copies of your unofficial transcripts and the NAU advisor’s course recommendations. Please do not use drop-in advising for this type of help as it takes considerable time.
Can an advisor help me figure out what major or career is best for me?
We can help you with starting the research but ultimately, it’s up to you to decide once you evaluate what your strengths and interests are. CCC has on-site Career Services. Choosing a major and or occupation is a process that will take time. If you feel like you need additional help, start with reviewing our list of Degrees and Certificates and write down what sounds interesting to you. Then, visit our Academic Advising page to schedule an appointment with a Career advisor. Don’t be hard on yourself, it takes time for students to choose and that’s okay. Starting a notebook with questions is helpful for the Career advisor.
