ADVISING CENTERS

Advising Centers staffed by advisors are open and operational on the Decatur Campus and our Huntsville site. The personnel manning the centers will help students set academic goals, plan their course schedules, plan their program of study, and register for classes. All new, first time freshmen will be assigned an advisor that they will be required to meet with each semester prior to registration until the student has accumulated 30+ credit hours. Upon earning 30+ hours, that advisor will remain assigned to the student and available to them for any assistance they may need.

You are welcome to walk-in and meet with an advisor or go to www.calhoun.edu/advising to make an appointment.
