Advising

Fall 2022 Advising

The Importance of Advisement

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

We recommend contacting your advisor via email before registering for each semester to ensure that you are on track with your degree.  During the social distancing period, you can request a zoom meeting during office hours by emailing your advisor to request the zoom link.
