Major & General Education (GE) Advising

Our advising services are offered in-person or via Zoom. The location of your appointment depends on your units earned (lower division versus upper division standing).

New Spring 2026 students must attend an orientation to receive academic advising. Review our New Student webpage for more information.

Lower Division students (0 to 59 earned units):

  • Locations: The Undergraduate Advising Hub (UAH) in the Student Services Center (North Garage) or Zoom
  • Services: "Academic/Schedule Planning" and "General Education" appointment through Spartan Connect

Our advising will be limited if your transfer credit report is not complete and accurate. If you are completing a course during the summer, you are required to send official transcripts with final grades to SJSU for approval, processing, and posting.

Upper Division students (60 or more earned units):

  • Locations: The College of Science Student Success Center (CoS-SSC) Duncan Hall (DH 212) or Zoom
