Responsibilities

Both students as well as academic advisors have responsibilities that complement each other. As a team, advisees and advisors can work toward a successful and timely graduation at CSULB.

Students are responsible for reading the Catalog, to understand the University rules and regulations, and they are responsible for their education. Part of that responsibility is to seek academic advising to ensure progress toward graduation in a timely manner.

• For undeclared or General Education (GE) advisement, see an advisor in the Academic Advising Center at least once a year. If you are in an advising program such as the Learning Alliance, Student Access to Science, or Educational Equity Services, see an advisor as often as your program deems appropriate.
• See the undergraduate advisor in your major department at least once a year.
• Prepare for your advising session.
• Use "mycsulb" to regulary check your unofficial transcript, transfer credit evaluation, and your Degree Progress Report (DPR). Direct concerns regarding your DPR,in writing, to Enrollment Services, using the DPR resolution and update form.
• Bring all your academic records such as unofficial transcripts or degree audit to your advising session.
• Make a list of questions to ask your advisor.
• Listen to, consider, and discuss your advisor's recommendations.
• Be familiar with your graduation requirements.
