University Center for Undergraduate Advising (UCUA)

Congratulations on your admission to CSULB! All newly admitted undeclared students will have their first contact with an academic advisor this summer through the Advising & Registration component of SOAR.

Visit the Advising for Newly Admitted Students page for more information.

New undeclared students who need to make a change to their Fall 2024 course schedule after enrolling should meet with a UCUA academic advisor in a drop-in advising session.

UCUA academic advisors are available to meet with undergraduate students in person or via Zoom and can also be reached via email at aa-advising@csulb.edu.

Drop-in advising is available for currently enrolled undergraduate students who are undeclared, students who are interested in exploring a different major or adding a minor, students who are on academic warning, or academically disqualified students who are seeking reinstatement to the University.

Hours of availability and a Zoom link can be found to the right of this message or at the bottom of the page if you are on a mobile device. Undeclared students should visit UCUA Team and Primary Advisors for information about their primary UCUA academic advisor's current drop-in availability.

Drop-in advising sessions are typically limited to a maximum of 15 minutes. 

Students should have their ID number ready to provide to the screener when visiting the Center in person or visiting the Zoom waiting room. 

If you are interested in becoming undeclared, please submit a request to change your major using the following request form. An advisor will reach out to you to confirm if your major has been changed or if additional action is required. Please continue to check your CSULB student email regularly.
