What is Academic Advising?
At 海角直播 Denver you have access to both professional academic advisors and faculty advisors to help you navigate the University. (Faculty are the professors and instructors who teach your classes. Some of them advise, too.) Advisors are here for you if you:
- Need help deciding a major, minor, or concentration.
- Want to learn how transfer credit fits into your degree plan and goals.
- Are looking for referrals to other offices but don’t know where to start.
- Need help choosing classes for your next semester.
- Are exploring careers.
If you’re unsure of which major best fits you, that’s Ok. We have a team of Exploratory Advisors just for you!聽 Exploratory/Undeclared students are those who have not yet decided on a college major. It is perfectly normal to not know what you want to study in college. You may not have all the information you need to choose a major. Maybe you just need more time to learn about your strengths, interests, and values.
Students may have more than one advisor during their time at 海角直播 Denver. Undergraduate students typically work with a professional academic advisor and then move to working with faculty advisors. Graduate students – check with your program for more advising information. 海角直播 Denver students have an advising team to support them from their first day through graduation!
Meet with your advisor early – before it is time for you to register for classes. Check in with someone at least once a semester. Make sure you become聽familiar with Navigate Student, our online advising resource. You’ve got this!

We've Got One More Way to Discover What 海角直播 or School Your Program Belongs To (SharePoint)
Track Your Degree Progress
The Degree Progress Report (DPR) helps you and your advisor track program requirements and how you are meeting them. It includes information about classes you have taken at 海角直播 Denver and classes transferred in. You can also see the classes you are registered for. A DPR doesn’t tell you what order to take the classes in, but advisors can help you plan!
Review your DPR before you meet with an advisor and prepare questions to ask during your appointment.
Check out the DPR overview in the video below.
This video reviews how to access and read the major sections of your Degree Progress Report | Length 4:43 minutes | Closed Captioned
Something Important to Remember
Your DPR is not an official transcript, it is an advisory guide. Your DPR may not show all information until the Office of the Registrar finishes a final graduation check. If there are issues with your graduation application you will be notified.聽 If
- your major, minor, concentration, schedule, or catalog year changes
- you repeat a course or earn below a minimum needed grade
information on your DPR may change. If that sounds overwhelming,聽 remember an advisor can help you better understand what you see on your DPR.
