The University Academic Advisement Center (UAAC) provides
general education advisement, information on university policies and
procedures, assistance with general education course selection, transfer credit
advisement, academic intervention techniques, help with University Petitions,
and referrals to other University Student Support Services for all CSULA
undergraduate students. The UAAC also provides academic advisement to all
undergraduate students who have not declared a major.
Walk-in requests are honored, dependent upon staff
availability, or schedule an appointment by calling the UAAC at (323) 343-3150.
When Should Students Get Academic Advisement? Academic advisement is required for all new students prior
to or in their first quarter of attendance at Cal State L.A. Continuing Students should also seek
advisement as required by the department or college.
Who should Get Academic Advisement?
Before registering for classes, you must consult an adviser in your major
department, school, division, or Advisement Center to plan a
program of study. After your initial advisement session, you should consult an
academic adviser at least annually, or more often as necessary, to enhance
academic success. Undergraduate students who, upon admission to the University,
are unable to select a specific major must consult an academic adviser in the
University Academic Advisement Center.
Where Do Students Obtain Academic Advisement? Undergraduate Students can obtain
Academic Advisement from Principal Program Department Advisers in their Major
colleges, Advisement Centers, and Faculty advisers in their Major and Minor Departments. Department Principal Advisers and Pre-professional
Principal Advisers should be one of the first stops for new students. Their
office locations and extensions are listed in each Quarter's Schedule of
Classes.
Graduate (Post-Baccalaureate Students) should obtain
advisement from the Department or Division offering the Post Baccalaureate
Degree Program (except for those declared in the College of Business and
Economics, whose students should seek advisement through the Business &
Economics Advisement Center). Graduate Students who do not have a declared
degree objective should contact the Graduate Studies and Research Office at (323)
343-3820.
How Do Students Make
Appointments for Academic Advisement?
Most advisement
offices have some provisions for "Walk-in" advisement appointments.
However, it is best to schedule appointments with your academic adviser by
phone or in person to ensure sufficient time to cover all of your advisement
issues and needs, and to give the adviser an opportunity to prepare for the
advisement session.
Be sure to bring
with you to the Advisement session any pertinent information that
will help your adviser provide you with complete, accurate, and up-to-date
advisement information, such as Placement Test Scores (ELM, EPT), SAT/ACT
Scores, TOEFL Scores, AP (Advanced Placement Test Scores), Transfer Credit, and
Collegiate Transcripts.
