Welcome
The SF State Advising Hub is your one-stop-shop for your advising needs. If you are looking for a resource center, information about probation or advising for your first semester, you are in the right place!
The information provided here is not to replace a professional advisor. For a successful path to graduation at SF State, we highly recommend that you connect with major and GE advisors often — if you are pursuing a minor, you will also have a minor advisor.
