Academic Advising
Students are assigned a full-time faculty member who will serve as their academic advisor and will assist students with
course selection and planning. Academic advisors, along with the Registrar's Office, provide guidance regarding academic procedure,
guidelines, policy, and other support services as needed.
Learning Resource and Writing Center
The Learning Resource and Writing Center at CVA offers learning enhancement and enrichment services to students.
Students may consult with the LRC staff about all types of academic skills, including writing, critical
reading, research, note-taking, study skills, time management, and test-taking strategies.
Individual consultation is the usual way that students use the LRC; academic skills workshops and seminars are
also offered periodically. The resources of the LRC are designed to help students take full advantage of the
variety of learning opportunities at CVA and not only to survive, but to thrive as they acquire new skills
and knowledge.
