Students are welcome to meet in person to speak with a Liberal Studies and/or Teacher Credentialing Academic Advisor on a weekly basis during select times & days. Drop-ins are not 30-minute advising appointments; they are generally 5-15 minute advising sessions for quick questions and planning. The Advisors operate out of the Teacher Preparation Advising Center. For a campus map, refer to the CSULB Maps Website.

Other Notes Regarding Appointments

Beginning of Semester & Registration Period: Liberal Studies Advisors do not schedule any advising appointments during the first week of Fall/Spring semesters (late August or late January) and first two weeks of Fall/Spring registration (early November or early April). It is common for student need and communications to increase substantially during these times, so we put all advisors on-call and/or scheduled for 'drop in' assistance and email availability as result, in order to assist and support as many students as possible in a timely manner. We appreciate your understanding. 

Newly Admitted Students: Fall 2023 Admitted Students are not able to schedule appointments at this time. Refer to the College of Education Orientation Website for details on what to expect and advising support for this upcoming summer.
