Planning Classes:

The Advisement Manual
The Advisement Manual includes a 4 year plan for all majors on campus. These documents are broken down by year and semester of what courses are the most beneficial to take to stay on track.

Fall Course Schedule
The course schedule lists all of the courses offered during the semster. The courses are broken down by General Education Requirement (the top drop down box) and by major (the bottom drop down box). This site will help you determine when classes are offered.

Dignitas course descriptions
Dignitas is our first year student program. It offers students a chance to find out what CSS expects academically as far as critical reading, thinking and writing. The overall theme to Dignitas is "Dignity for Self and Others." Each faculty person bases their course on a subtheme around Dignity. A peer mentor serves as a role model and guide throughout this year-long course.

The Advisement staff is available to you to answer any questions you may have over the summer. Please email advisement@css.edu or IM mkb4cssadvise on Yahoo!
