Academic Advising

Students will consult with their academic advisor each semester about progress in their academic degree program. Advisors help students assess progress toward a degree and provide guidance in choosing classes to fulfill degree requirements and educational goals.

Peer advisors also are available and allow students to discuss their academic plans with another student from their major department.

For scheduling inquiries or to make an appointment for advising, contact Tori Sinclair, assistant director of advising and registration, at 816-802-3371 or tsinclair@kcai.edu.
