Academic Advising Directory

There are many advising resources available for students here at SF State depending on your major or special programs (i.e. Metro, EOP and athletics). If you are a first year freshman or undeclared, you have an assigned advisor in the Undergraduate Advising Center.  If you are a continuing student in a major/pre-major/applying to an impacted program, you can meet advisors in your college resource center — all majors belong to a college (all majors are listed below under each college).  The faculty in your major department are also advisors for your major requirements except for the Lam Family College of Business students (see the LFCoB Student Services Center below).

 
To limit COVID-19 spreading within our community, academic advisors are meeting with students remotely. To see an advisor through a Zoom Drop-in appointment, choose the advising location (college resource center or other office) and then go to their website to connect to their drop-ins. If you would like to schedule an appointment, you can use the link below. After scheduling your appointment, you will receive en email confirmation and additional information about your remote appointment.

 

See the"How to Schedule an Appointment" article if you need assistance.
