In partnership with students and the wider Cal State LA community, the NSS Advisement Center's mission is to foster a supportive and validating learning environment where advisors teach and empower students to develop, understand, and achieve their educational goals. Our professional advising team helps students from orientation to graduation: 

• Understand general education and major requirements to graduate with a major in the College of Natural and Social Sciences
• Create academic plans and select courses in fulfilling graduation requirements 
• Identify and integrate co-curricular and extra-curricular activities into an academic plan to help students achieve their academic and professional goals
• Use the Campus Academic Requirements Report (CARR), departmental checklists/roadmaps, and other tools to monitor their academic progress
• Apply University policies, procedures, forms, and processes necessary for graduation
• With referrals to University resources and offices
