Center for Advising and Academic Support

Welcoming a new chapter:

The Center for Advising and Academic Support (CAAS) is becoming the Academic Success Center.

Over the coming weeks you will notice our name, look, and feel changing across our platforms online and on campus. Please search for both department names while looking for information. For any inquiry, please contact Kathy Glampe.

Our mission is to provide assistance in exploring academic goals within the context of possible career and life-long pursuits. We support advisors as well as their advisees in providing the necessary information and skills to fulfill graduation, general education, and major requirements. Academic Advising also assists students in exploring possible major options, in changing advisors, in using a degree audit, class & lab schedule, and the St. Olaf Catalog.
