Your personalized support system

As an online student, you're never navigating your academic journey alone. From the moment you inquire about a program, you'll be connected with an Assistant Director of Enrollment, your dedicated guide throughout your entire experience at CMU. Think of them as your go-to support person, helping you understand your program, navigate enrollment and stay on track through graduation.

You’ll also be paired with an academic advisor who works alongside you to plan your courses and keep you moving toward your goals. Orientation is available when and how you need it on-demand in Blackboard Ultra.
