Students in good academic standing with a major in the College of Humanities are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor. To schedule an advisement appointment, please call (818) 677-4767 or (818) 677-4784.

During the semester immediately following placement on probation, a registration hold is placed on a student’s enrollment until good academic standing is achieved. Prior to registering, students on probation must schedule an appointment to meet with an academic advisor. To make an appointment, please call (818) 677-4767 or (818) 677-4784.

Academic advisement is mandatory for all first-time freshmen prior to registration. The College of Humanities Student Services Center/ EOP advises and mentors first-year students (FTF) who are admitted to the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP).  If you have been admitted to EOP, please contact our office for more information about scheduling an appointment with an EOP advisor. The SSC/EOP can be reached at (818) 677-4767 or (818) 677-4784. 

All other FTF (first-years) should schedule their mandatory advisement sessions with the Matador Advising Hub.
