Advising

  • Undergraduate

    Advising is an integral part of the undergraduate academic experience at SF State. Faculty members in each department provide advising to current SF State students. Some departments assign advisers; others have students select from a list. Students are encouraged to seek out a faculty member for ongoing advising during their time at SF State.

    The Advising Center is staffed by professional and peer advisors committed to helping undergraduate students enjoy a successful college experience. The Center sponsors day-long orientation programs several times during the year for first-time freshman students as well as transfers. Located in Administration building, 2nd floor, the Advising Center welcomes new and current students who need advising help and the wisdom and experience of their student peers.

    The Advising Center holds workshops periodically throughout the year to answer questions about GE, graduation requirements or Liberal Studies. Individual advising appointments can also be arranged.

Learning assistance

SF State offers students support in their academic work through tutoring, specialized courses, support programs, and individual conferences with instructors. Faculty schedule regular office hours when students can meet with them for help with questions, problems, test preparation, class assignments, and even career goals.

The Learning Assistance Center is the central source of information for academic help and tutoring services offered by specific programs and departments. More information is available in the Bulletin (catalog) and the Advising Center.
