A team of faculty, staff and peer advisors meet with students in the CAPS Center to help students plan academic course work, choose a program of study, identify career goals, and assist new students with concerns that may arise. CAPS is part of the Kennesaw State University advisement program whereby each department within the four colleges and one school provides advisement services to students who have chosen their programs of study. Once the undeclared CAPS students select a specific program of study, their records are transferred to the respective college or school where faculty in the academic departments advise the students until graduation. This room, located within the CAPS Center, is open to all students without appointment. It houses informational material about careers, other colleges and graduate schools, CLEP, and free handouts about a wide range of educational, career, and counseling information.
