You are required to attend your appointment via Zoom. Expect the advising appointment to be approximately 2 hours. Please arrive on time.
Check your CSUF email regularly to learn about other major requirements and for important updates.
Transfer Students
STEP 1: Complete your General Education Modules
As a reminder, you are strongly encouraged to complete the General Education (GE) advising modules. Upper division GE courses (300-400 level) are required for all transfer students.
Modules open June 1, 2022.
If you do not see lower-division courses that you have already taken populating in the correct area of your TDA, please let an advisor know during your registration session. Do not register for the course if you believe you have already taken it.
For upper-division GE, Dance students can overlap a course from Area C.3. DANC -301 is recommended as it will also satisfy Overlay Z, the Cultural Diversity requirement.
