Your Advisor is your main connection and point of contact at school. Your daily Advisement period allows you a space to ask questions that you may not have the opportunity to ask in other classes. Advisement is daily and 80 minutes per week. Attendance for advisement is mandatory and will help you be successful at COLA. There are even opportunities for your advisement group to meet up in person on Fridays either at school or out in the community.
