CSUMB students can use the Advising Portal to schedule appointments with Academic, Career, or Success Advisors.
Current and Prospective students can meet with an advisor via Zoom drop-in advising.
Zoom Drop-in Advising | April 14 to April 18
If you are considering changing majors or adding a minor, Zoom Drop-in Advising is the best way to start that process.
Alumni or prospective students can also meet with major advisors during Zoom drop-in advising. Use the link above to find the times and Zoom link for your major.
See our Academic Advising page for more information, or call 831-582-3937 if you have difficulty scheduling an appointment.
