Item 2 - Are you required to take MAPB 1, 7, or 11?
- If you are required to take MAPB 1 and did not enroll in the course this fall, you must enroll in MAPB 1 in the spring semester and contact the Prebaccalaureate Advising Support Services (PASS) office in AS-014 or call (562) 985-7895.
- If you were required to take MAPB 7 or 11 and did not enroll in the course this fall you must enroll AND pass MAPB 7 or 11 in the upcoming spring semester.
- Be aware that all pre baccalaureate course requirements must be completed successfully by the end of the spring semester.

Item 5 - Are you enrolled in a General Education (GE) foundation course from GE Categories A1, A2, A3, or B2?
- If you are currently taking a GE foundation course from Category A or Category B2, plan to choose a (different) foundation course which you are missing that will utilize the skills that you acquired in your first semester.
Item 6 - Are you enrolled in an introduction to a major course?
- If you are enrolled in an introduction to a major course this fall, plan on taking another lower division major course numbered 100-299 this spring.
- Always check the course description in the Catalog for prerequisites.
Note: Consider taking other elective courses that will help build skills. Non-GE elective courses earn units that are counted towards your degree.
Location: Workshops are usually held in the Academic Advising Center (Horn Center, room 103), however, the October 28 and 29 workshops will be held in the University Student Union.
Completion of the Academic Advising Center's - 90 minute - workshop will meet the requirement to receive advising prior to registration for your spring classes. Reserve a space early for best accommodation.
