CSUMB students can use the new Advising Portal to schedule an appointment with an academic, career, or success advisor, or can go to Zoom Drop-in Advising September 13 to October 20, 2023 for quick check-ins or for questions about processes and procedures. If you are considering changing majors, the Zoom Drop-in Advising is the best way to get started on that process.
Alumni or prospective students can also meet with major advisors during zoom drop-in advising, using 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 having difficulty scheduling an appointment.

In addition, students who are part of one of the College Support Programs (such as EOP, TRIO, CAMP, Guardian Scholars, or Undocu-Success also have a success/retention advisor for that program).
Re-entry students can reach out to the Returning Student Success Advisor, Lamberto Figueroa-Trujillo, M.Ed., for additional support.
