What is Advising & Evaluations (A&E)? 
The office of Advising & Evaluations provides general academic advising for enrolled undergraduate students. Advisors are available to help you understand SDSU graduation requirements, including General Education requirements and institutional policies and procedures. If you are undecided about a major, an advisor can help you develop an educational plan consistent with you life goals and objectives.
For advising in your major, contact the faculty advisor in you major department. Your department advisor can also answer questions regarding career opportunities and graduate studies in your major field.
Advising for students in the Educational Opportunity Program is located in the Office of Educational Opportunity Programs/Ethnic Affairs, Student Sefvices, Room 2209, (619) 594-6298.
For specialized advising such as pre-professional advising (pre-medical, pre-law, etc.), you should contact the advisor assigned to your preprofessional area.
Advising & Evaluations can help you understand the University's requirements and policies and help you develop an educational plan that suits your aspirations and aptitudes.
An advisor will work with you one-on-one to help you have a successful college experience.
New students should attend academic orientation before their first semester at SDSU. After orientation, you should visit the Academic Advising Center if you have questions about General Education, general university policies and procedures, or if you are undecided about a major. Completing requirements for your degree in a timely manner requires planning. Acadmic advisors can help you develop your academic plan. Don’t wait until you have a problem to see an advisor - let us help you prevent problems.
The advising center is busiest during registration periods and the first weeks of classes. Plan ahead to avoid these busy times. Faculty advisors (major advisors) are not always available during the summer months or between semesters.
To find an advisor for your major or to contact a pre-professional advisor, please see our Directory of Advising Services.
