CASA Advising
Professional CASA advisors work with undergraduate students from their first semester at Mines through graduation. CASA partners with academic departments and faculty mentors to ensure students receive reliable, comprehensive, and holistic advising. Advisors are assigned based on a student’s major and last name. Majors are grouped together, with multiple advisors serving each cluster. Locate your major below to find the advisor serving your last name.

CASA Drop-ins
CASA will hold drop-in hours in Aspen Hall (1869 W. Campus Rd) for current undergraduate students every Wednesday from 2:30pm-4:15pm during weeks that classes are in session in fall and spring semesters. Additional drop-in options will typically be available during the first week of the semester and during the registration period and will be announced by email and posted at our front desk.
No appointment is necessary for first-come, first-served drop-in advising hours, though we appreciate your patience if you encounter a wait, as we expect a high volume of traffic at certain points of the year. Drop-in advising is designed for students with time-sensitive or quick advising questions (~10 minutes/student). Please schedule a meeting with your advisor for semester-by-semester degree planning, dual degree or combined program questions, or anything that may require a more in-depth conversation.
