Admissions

Admissions assists new students and returning students, including College Credit Plus (CCP) students, with college and career pathway planning and helps students work through their enrollment steps, including registering for their first semester at COTC. 

Academic Advising

All students at COTC are assigned an Academic Advisor after the start of their first semester to map academic and career goals, register for classes and help students stay on track to graduate.

Success Coaches help students build academic and college-life skills to help prevent, prepare for and respond to common obstacles they may encounter in higher education. These skills include time management, learning styles, resource utilization, active notetaking, study skills, and many others.
