Academic Advising
Academic advising at CalSouthern is an integral part of the educational experience. Learner Support Services enhances the academic experience through personalized support, facilitates a collaborative environment for learners to achieve their academic and professional goals, and promotes a standard of academic integrity and an appreciation of diversity.
The Learner Support Services department is comprised of Academic Advisors who provide guidance in planning the learner’s educational program, assist in the facilitation of course registration, and help the learner understand and navigate university policies and procedures. Learner Support Services encourages and supports learners as they progress through their academic programs and provide a one-on-one approach to advising should questions or issues arise during the process.

Disability Services
CalSouthern recognizes and accepts its responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability and requiring the University to provide reasonable accommodations to learners with documented disabilities in all University programs and activities. To receive any reasonable accommodation(s) for a learner’s disability, learners must complete the CalSouthern accommodation process at least two weeks in advance of their course start date. To complete the process in time, they will need to begin gathering the required documentation as soon as possible.
Learners must self-disclose their disability, request accommodation, and submit the necessary documentation to the University Disability Services Office. Learners will need to acquire the necessary documentation to receive disability accommodations.
Accommodations are provided only after the process has been completed and do not apply to courses previously taken. Courses begun at CalSouthern prior to a request for an accommodation will not be considered for re-evaluation of grades. For more information, please contact the University Disability Services Coordinator at disabilityservices@calsouthern.edu.
