Academic and Student Affairs

Academic and Student Affairs acts as a connector of opportunity, co-creates and maintains standards and practices, and leads organizational learning across the District. ASA also maintains the key academic and student systems to ensure external complianc​e, performance to internal KPIs, and process integrity. ASA’s leadership spans the areas of curriculum, faculty affairs, workforce and career education, institutional research, adult education, early college, advising, enrollment, retention, student financial aid, and student finance.

Academic and Student Affairs, led by the Provost in collaboration with the leadership from the seven City Colleges of Chicago, is deeply engaged in facilitating the implementation of the strategic priorities identified by the Chancellor and supported through an extensive process of faculty governance. ASA is at the center of City Colleges of Chicago, providing dynamic, challenging, and state-of-the-art learning experiences for students, supported by faculty and staff who deeply value the success of every one of our students.

ASA is composed of the following departments: Academic Affairs, Adult Education, Advising and Student Success, Curriculum and Workforce Partnerships, Decision Support, Enrollment Management, and Student Financials.

These departments work in an integrated manner to promote innovation and change by leading strategic thought leadership and execution across City Colleges and by using data and information to support decision-making.
