Academic Advising…
Your Key to Academic Success!

Key into Advising….Unlock your Potential!
Academic advisement is an essential component to the success of your educational experience at
California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI).
Informed academic advising is critical to your success as a student. A cooperative student/advisor relationship allows you to select an academic program and the ap-propriate curriculum to best serve your individual needs and talents.
Academic Advisement is much more than selecting courses for your next semester. Effective academic advisement includes meeting with an advisor and devel-oping an academic program of study that meets your educational and career goals.
When and how often should I meet with an advisor?
Academic advising is a continuous process that supports
you throughout your time at the University. You are
encouraged to make contact early and maintain regular
contact with academic advisors.
Advisors are available to assist you with a variety
of advising issues. Each student is unique and the
advising center staff strive to develop advising ses-
sions that meet the needs of each individual student.
Seek out assistance whenever needed. Walk-in and
scheduled appointments (recommended) are avail-
able throughout the academic year. Refer to the fol-
lowing guide that describes services available.
What types of advising services are available at the Advising Center?
The following will serve as a guide to advising issues gen-
erally discussed in one hour advising appointments. To
streamline the advising process, ask for these services by name:

mation and resources to help guide you along the path

academic probation are required to meet with an advisor
prior to registering for any new semester. Advisors can
assist you with developing an action plan designed to
help you return to good academic standing.

ation with an academic advisor approximately two se-
