How CLAS Advising Works

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) utilizes a dual-advising system, which means all undergraduate students in a CLAS major have two academic advisors with whom they should work throughout their time at CU Denver. CLAS Academic Advisors work with students regarding CU Denver Core Curriculum, CLAS, and general graduation requirements, as well as university and college policies and procedures. Faculty advisors work with students on their major requirements within their respective academic departments. Both advisors monitor students’ degree progress and approve graduation eligibility. The Academic Success & Advising Center (ASAC; Student Commons Building 1113; 303-315-1940) advises students who are undecided about their college major (i.e., undeclared) or who are pre-architecture, pre-business, or pre-engineering.

Please review the table below to determine what type of service will best meet your needs at this time.
