Academic advising is a continuous process that supports students throughout their academic journey at CSU Channel Islands. Students are ultimately responsible for their educational planning and meeting all graduation requirements, and need to be familiar with the University Catalog, policies and major and degree policies. To ensure academic success and to remain on course, students are encouraged to maintain regular contact with academic advisors.
In addition to taking advantage of the center’s professional academic advisors, students can develop a mentoring relationship with a faculty advisor upon declaration of a major. Faculty advisors assist students with clarification of major requirements and internship and career opportunities.
