Academic Advising

At Columbia College Hollywood, you have a team of advisors and mentors ready to offer academic advice and support. This team includes the Academic Advisor, your Program Chair, and the lead faculty member for your area of study.

Make an appointment and get to know them! They can help you clarify college policies and procedures, sort through your program requirements, and understand, assess, and improve your individual academic progress.

In particular, the Academic Advisor is available to help you design a course schedule that takes your degree program, personal interests, and individual schedule needs into account.

If you’re a BFA student who chose an area of Emphasis when you started your program, you can meet with the Academic Advisor anytime during or up to your 6th quarter to finalize your Emphasis choice and plan a long-term course strategy toward graduation.

For immediate support, please email registration@columbiacollege.edu
