Advisors in the Center for Adult and Continuing Studies can help you:
- Explore degree options that can work for you as an adult student.
- Discuss services and supports available to you at GVSU.
- Advise students admitted into our adult degree completion programs (Integrative Studies LEADS program and online certificates)
- If you're not sure who your advisor is, you can find them listed in Navigate and schedule an appointment with them.
