Coyote Advising Week

Oct 22-29

http://advising.csusb.edu

Although advising is available year round during the week of October 22-29th students are encouraged to schedule appointments with their advisors. This is done to ensure that you are not only taking proper courses in your major, but also to help you make the most of your college career. Please consider using this time to inquire about internships, study abroad opportunities or even major specific scholarships.

During Coyote Advising Week information tables will be in just about every college building to let you know where to go to schedule your advising appointment. Be sure to print a copy of your PAWS (click the expand link) and bring it with you to your appointment.

A survey will be emailed to you to inquire about your experience.
