糖心Vlog

Advising at Cal State 糖心Vlogy happens in two parts: Major Advising and GE Advising. You need both.

Major advisors are full-time faculty members, who advise students with junior and senior standing on their major courses. They determine transfer credit articulation for major courses, and must sign off on major requirements the semester before you expect to graduate. Students with minors in Art may also meet with Art major advisors to confirm minor requirements.

Fine your major advisor here: Art Advisor Office Hours and Contact Info. If you are unavailable during your advisor’s office hours, ALL Art majors can also make an appointment with the Faculty Advising Fellow. Most faculty use Bay Advisor to schedule appointments. Instructions for using Bay Advisor can be found here. Please use Firefox or Chrome to access Bay Advisor.

GE advisors are professional staff members who help students with frosh- and sophomore-standing navigate GE/breadth requirements and foundations major requirements; they also help junior- and senior-standing students confirm upper division GE/breadth and university requirements.

Students in Video & Animation or in Graphic Design should contact Mo Yang (email: mo.her@csueastbay.edu). Students in all other Art concentrations should contact Jerome Narvaez (email: jerome.narvaez@csueastbay.edu).

Students participating in programs such as EOP, Excel, GANAS, LINK, PIIA, Renaissance, Sankofa, or Veterans may contact these programs for additional support for non-major courses and university requirements.

• When should I meet with an advisor?

You should plan to meet with an advisor at least once every academic year. Advisors are busiest during registration, so plan on meeting earlier in the semester if you are verifying transfer credits, applying for graduation, mapping out your program, or have other questions.

Below are worksheets that tell students which courses are required for each concentration, followed by roadmaps for the final years of BFA Graphic Design (roadmaps and other planning tools for more concentrations will be coming in the future – in the meantime, talk to a faculty advisor about when to take these courses and about choosing electives).
