Transfer Student Advising

For Admitted Students

If you are a prospective student, recently admitted student, or school counselor with questions regrading admissions, please contact University Outreach & School Relations or CSULB Admissions.

Transitioning from your former college or university can be made easier by connecting early and frequently (at least once a year) with your faculty advisor. You are required to meet with your faculty major advisor during your first semester at CSULB to discuss your schedule for next semester and review your plan for graduation. A transfer advising hold will be placed on your ability to register until you meet with your advisor.

Faculty major advisors will help you to:

  1. choose, clarify, plan, and achieve educational and career goals
  2. select courses to integrate educational and personal goals
  3. develop a strategy to monitor progress and development
  4. identify academic and personal skills that need to be acquired or enhanced to achieve educational goals
  5. increase awareness of the full range of campus programs and services
  6. understand the relationship between academic experience and career opportunities and objectives
  7. access information and obtain guidance for post-baccalaureate studies
  8. complete and submit appropriate forms and petitions necessary for academic progress
  9. connect with the CNSM Internship Coordinator (Dr. Elaine Bernal).
