Welcome to the Advising Center!
We look forward to assisting you. CCRI offers free one-on-one academic advising to all enrolled students. Click the expandable menus below for our On-Campus and Virtual Advising Center hours.
New Students with no prior college experience will receive advising and registration through the One Stop Student Services office. Once they have chosen a major and first semester registration is completed, they will be assigned an Advisor/Success Coach to assist them throughout their educational journey.
After registering for their first semester courses, students should keep an eye on their CCRI email for a meet-and-greet invitation from their assigned Advisor/Success Coach.
Current Students (registered for current and/or previous term) should connect with their assigned Advisor/Success Coach, review any holds on their account in MyCCRI, and register online. Students may connect with their assigned Advisor/Success Coach in-person (on-campus) or virtually by making an appointment in Starfish.
Returning Students (previous CCRI student who has not attended CCRI in two or more years) are encouraged to submit a new Admissions Application and then attend a Virtual Drop-in Advising Session to discuss educational plans and goals and to register for courses. Once they have chosen a major and registered for courses, they will be assigned an Advisor/Success Coach. Need to reset your MyCCRI password or don't remember your username, visit Forgot login info? for assistance.
Transfer Students (new to CCRI but attended college elsewhere first) are encouraged to attend a Virtual Drop-in Advising Session to discuss educational plans and goals and to register for courses. Once they have chosen a major and registered for courses, they will be assigned an Advisor/Success Coach.
Highly recommended!
Your assigned Advisor/Success Coach can be found on the My Success Network page of your Starfish account. [Read more about Starfish here]
