Undergraduate Student Advising

FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

First-year students in our college are broken into six groups -- cohorts -- by major field. You will take three classes with your cohort during your first semester. After that, your CLASS-GE and Major Advisors will help you draw a graduation plan.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Transfer students should reach out to their Major Advisor ASAP in order to coordinate their graduation plan. In addition, you will be required to complete Upper-Division GEs, Overlays, and the UWR at CSUEB. The Student Service Center will help you: 1) confirm that your transfer units are properly reflected, 2) draft a plan for any missing Lower-Division GE units if needed, and 3) advise you in your Upper-Division GEs.

Class Advising

Graduate Student Advising

Advising for graduate students is handled by the Graduate Coordinators from your department in coordination with the Office of Graduate Studies.The office provides essential resources, guidance, and services to help students succeed in their academic journey.
