Undergraduate Advising Resources
CSULB is committed to students graduating in a timely manner. CSULB advisors play a crucial role in this commitment and helping you navigate to your degree goals. Many advising centers at CSULB have drop-in hours available to you, but we encourage you to make an appointment through the online scheduling system called Beach Connect.
Advisors assist students with many of CSULB’s registration and degree planning functions.
Some of these functions include:
- Degree Planner
- General Education Requirements
- Pre-baccalaureate Requirements
- Declaration or Change of Major
- Educational Planning for Major Requirements
- Academic Rules and Regulations... and many more.
In addition to the advising tables below, undergraduate students can quickly identify advising services in your major and specialized programs in your MyCSULB Student Center. Highlighted in a box on the lower right-hand labeled "Advisor," click the details link to find advisor contact information.
All first-year students are required to attend a mandatory first-year advising workshop for their first two semesters:
- Fall (to plan for spring registration)
- Spring (to plan for fall registration)
*If you are a member of a special student program, you will continue to work with your Special Program advisor. See Special Student Programs for contact information and more information.
Mandatory First-Year Advising
Fall Semester:
All first-year students participate in Fall First-Year Student Advising to help you prepare to register for spring classes. Advising begins in October with class registration taking place usually in December.
Through this process, you will meet with either your College/Department advisor or the University Center for Undergraduate Advising (UCUA).
Look for an invitation via email directing you to the right program for your Fall First-Year Student Advising. Please read it carefully to determine how to schedule your appointment for this very special event. Your registration appointment indicating the day and time you can register for spring classes will be on MyCSULB in late October.
Spring Semester:
Spring First-Year Student Advising is required of all first-year students. Through this process, you will meet with either your College/Department advisor or the University Center for Undergraduate Advising (UCUA). Advising begins in late March with class registration taking place usually in early April.
As you prepare for your sophomore year, we require all first-year students to participate in the program prior to registering! Look for an invitation via e-mail directing you to the right program for your Spring First-Year Student Advising.
If you are a member of any of the special student programs listed below, please continue to work with your special program as your primary advising resource.
For additional support, you can also connect with your department and/or major as an additional advising resource but we prefer that you work with your designated special student program as your primary resource to guide you through to graduation.

- Beach Academy members
- Students seeking assistance in creating a strategy to improve grade point averages and clear academic probation

If you have not declared a major, you will continue to be advised by the University Center for Undergraduate Advising (UCUA); however, if you have interest in a specific major, you are encouraged to attend an Advising Session offered by that College/Department. UCUA offers drop-in advising hours but recommends students make appointments through the Beach Connect Appointment System.
First-Year Students
First-year students who have not declared a major (or are uncertain of their current academic program) must attend an advising workshop offered by the University Center for Undergraduate Advising (UCUA) in the Student Success Center Room 140 (SSSC-140). If you are a first-year student and have not declared a major, please visit the UCUA website for undeclared students for more detailed information.
