Advising

These are advising hours for the Spring 2025 semester. 

Regular advising begins Tuesday, January 21st (first day of classes) and ends Friday, May 9th (last day of classes). Official advising hours end with the last day of classes, so if you need help after that, please e-mail the appropriate advisor(s) or the College of Liberal Arts Advising Department (ATLAS) at Atlas@csulb.edu.

The English Department Undergraduate and Graduate Advisors can help with concerns regarding your English major or minor emphasis, including the Single Subject Credential Program; general education requirements; transfer credit; study abroad courses; and your progress towards graduation. Please provide your CSULB campus ID number whenever you correspond with or visit with an advisor.
