The CCNH academics department is dedicated to your educational success. When you enroll, you will be assigned to a program advisor. Faculty and program advisors, working as a team, are always mindful of the high standards and level of quality you expect from us.
Although you’ll be working independently on your coursework, our academics team is here to assist you as you progress through your program. You may contact program advisors by telephone eight hours a day, five days a week. E-mail has become the most popular mode of communication between our students and their advisors and we are always available by mail or facsimile. The academic department, with assistance from the operations support department, provides support and guidance from the time you enroll until you graduate. We hope your educational experience will be enjoyable and rewarding and we’ll do everything possible to see that it is.
