For Students
Advising
The Undergraduate Advising Center (UAC), located in ADM 203, is the primary location for all undergraduate students seeking academic advising. The center serves all undergraduate students and is home to the first-year and undeclared advising team as well as academic advisors from all of the colleges. The UAC encourages you to meet with the center’s advisors to support your overall transition, wellness, and success at SFSU. Some of the common services provided by the center include degree planning, choosing/registering for classes, major exploration, academic success strategies, and policy clarification and appeals. The UAC offers advising appointments both in-person and via Zoom. Please see the UAC website for specific details regarding the types of services offered and how to make an appointment.
