Undergraduate Advising
The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning offers three undergraduate degrees:
Students are admitted to a single major within AAP. In order to graduate from each degree program students must meet the requirements set by each program. The requirements of each program can be found on Courses of Study.
Do you have a major-related question?
Our AAP student services team can assist with college distribution, external transfer credit, academic course concerns, and other academic and resource questions unrelated to your major. All questions about your major should be directed to your faculty advisor found in your Student Center.
Faculty Advising for Undergraduates
Faculty advisors are assigned to each student upon matriculation. Faculty advisors serve as a key partner in AAP and help students turn their academic interests in a field into appropriate course selection and discovery. Faculty advisors support and mentor students in their respective disciplines. Each academic department also has a Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) who can work with students and help guide them through their program. Office hours are posted by faculty members individually. Students can go to faculty advisors with questions about: course selection, academic support and mentorship, career interests and exploration, and research opportunities.
Staff Advising for Undergraduates
Staff advisors are housed within the Office of Admissions and Student Services in AAP and are available to help with a range of topics. The registrar team advises on academic policies and procedures, credit requirements, degree requirements, course sequencing, petitions, and transfer credit. Other professional advisors are available to support you with global study opportunities, career support, general college advising, and wellness. The whole student services team also serves as a resource to all students needing a connection to university systems including SDS, CU Health, and all other university offices.
