The Center for Advising and Retention (CAR) is the centralized professional academic advising unit for Clayton State University. Its mission is to promote the success, retention, and progression of the university’s undergraduate student population by effectively advising and assisting them along their educational journey and connecting them to resources and tools that support their academic and professional goals.

Regardless of a student's program of study, students will be assigned an advisor who will help them register for classes. They’re experts at navigating program-completion requirements and can help keep students on track as they work toward graduation.

The center houses academic advisors for each of the undergraduate departments and majors. Advisors help facilitate students’ transition from their entry to the university to degree completion. Students who enroll in specialty academic programs also receive advisement and/or mentorship from their program specific faculty advisors. This is done to ensure students meet their academic requirements, advisors proactively monitor their progress & regularly correspond with them.
