Fall 2021 Advisors

The Importance of Advisement

The Department of Technology strives to provide you with the support and academic information needed for you to reach your goal of a degree from the Department of Technology at California State University, Los Angeles.

We recommend that you contact your advisor via email prior to registering for each semester to ensure that you are on track with your degree.  During the social distancing period, you can request a telephone or zoom meeting if needed.
