At the University Academic Advisement Center the student comes first. The UAAC advisors are knowledgeable and ready to assist you with any questions you may have regarding General Education (GE), and policies and procedures related to GE and University requirements.                                        

Are you a transfer student?

We also specialize in assisting transfer students with questions regarding university requirements, articulation of transfer courses, and assessing general education courses. Once transcripts have been officially evaluated by the university admissions office, we can help determine which, if any, general education courses are still needed.

Expectations of Students

1. See an advisor on a regular basis and undeclared majors should schedule an appointment with a UAAC advisor each quarter.
2. Check your CSULA email regularly.  This is the official means of communication used by the University. (You can find step-by-step instructions to forward your CSULA email to your personal account at the following link:
