CSUMB University Communications Get Started on the Right Track | Page 2

Welcome to Cal State Monterey Bay! Whether you are a first-year student or an undergraduate student transferring into our university, we are pleased to have you as part of our CSUMB community. The university’s Academic & Career Advising Center is a central element of the educational experience of its undergraduate students. Advising is a collaborative relationship between the advisor and student, sharing responsibilities to help each student create an educational plan consistent with his or her academic, career and personal goals. Find Your Advisor Once you get settled in, we encourage you to call us at 831-582-3937 or email us at [email protected] to schedule an appointment to meet with your advisor and make sure you understand what is required of you to be successful. Academic Advising Mission Statement We provide quality advising services to students during their freshman and sophomore semesters. Advising will also assist upper division students when departmental advising is not available. The purpose of the center is to help students become knowledgeable of campus resources and to become self-reliant navigators of their academic and career goals.
