Academic Advisement

Academic advising assists students in forming intentional partnerships that connect their needs, values, abilities and goals to CSUN’s educational program. Academic advising is an on-going relationship and a collaborative process that will help students identify and reach their academic objectives through investigation and use of a wide variety of campus resources. Academic advising is the shared responsibility of faculty, staff and students. It incorporates the continuum of teaching and learning moments that both stimulate and support students in their quest for an enriched quality of life. These interactions assist students in realizing their academic and professional goals and facilitate timely graduation.

CSUN provides a wealth of academic advising services and resources for students including referrals to faculty and staff advisors in your major. These major advisors can be located at Academic Programs.
