Students can email their assigned CLAS Academic ​Advisors using their CU Denver email accounts.  Students can expect a reply within three business days.  Email advising is intended for short general questions related to the current or upcoming term.  The extent of e-mail interaction is at the discretion of the advisor. If questions involve reviewing the student’s academic record fully, the student will be required to schedule an appointment with the assigned advisor.

When emailing faculty and staff at the university, it is important to properly format and proofread your email before sending. Here is a great resource for composing professional emails created by the Writing Center.  Please include your student ID number and any course specific information in your email.
