Academic Advising
If you’ve been admitted to CSUN and have declared your Intent to Enroll, it’s time to start thinking about academic advising. Academic advising helps ensure you get the classes you need to create a smooth and efficient path toward graduation. All incoming freshmen are required to meet for advising. Advising is recommended (and may be required, depending on your major) for transfer students.
To find your academic advisor, visit University Advising and choose your student category, or select from the table below.
| Student Category | Academic Advising |
|---|---|
| EOP Students | EOP Service Center/Satellite for the college that houses your major. EOP Exploratory majors meet with the EOP Exploratory Advisement Coordinator. |
| Liberal Studies ITEP Students | Department of Interdisciplinary Studies and Liberal Studies. |
| Most New Freshmen | Matador Advising Hub. But find exceptions for new freshmen. |
| New International Students | The Hub International for new F-1 Visa freshmen and transfers. |
| Student Athletes | Matador Achievement Center. |
