Resources include, in alphabetical order:

Academic Advising

If you’ve been admitted to CSUN and have declared your Intent to Enroll, it’s time to start thinking about academic advising. Academic advising helps ensure you get the classes you need to create a smooth and efficient path toward graduation. All incoming freshmen are required to meet for advising. Advising is recommended (and may be required, depending on your major) for transfer students.

To find your academic advisor, visit University Advising and choose your student category, or select from the table below.
