Frequently Asked Questions
I have been a Bio major at Sac State for at least one semester. Do I need to make an appointment with NSAC?
Currently NSAC advisors only have time to meet with freshmen and transfer students in their first semester here. If you have been a student here since before Fall, 2009, continue seeing the faculty member from whom you have been receiving advising.
I am a freshman and Fall, 2009 is my first semester at Sac State. Do I have to make an appointment with NSAC?
Yes, freshmen matriculating in Fall, 2009 should schedule and attend an advising session in NSAC once in fall and once in spring.
I am a transfer student and Fall, 2009 is my first semester at Sac State. Do I have to make an appointment with NSAC?
Yes, transfer students who first matriculate in Fall, 2009 should schedule and attend an advising session in NSAC this fall. You will be referred to a faculty advisor for advising in spring.
I have been a major in another department and decided that I want to be a Bio Sci major. Do I have to make an appointment with NSAC?
Yes, students who first change their major to Bio Sci in Fall, 2009 should schedule and attend an advising session in NSAC this fall. You will be referred to a faculty advisor for advising in spring.
I have been a Bio Sci major, but want to change my major. Do I have to make an appointment with NSAC?
No, you should file a Change of Major form and seek advising in your new major department.
What do I need to bring with me to my advising appointment?
Bring your One Card and the red advising folder you received at orientation. If you did not attend orientation, you will receive an advising folder. Bring copies of transcripts of any college courses you have taken.
Can I just drop in for an appointment?
After the first week of class there are very few drop-in appointments available. The best way to see an advisor at NSAC is to search the scheduling calendar for the available times that fit your schedule.
What if I am a freshman or newly transferred student and I fail to see an advisor at NSAC?
You will not be allowed to register for classes the following semester until you meet with an advisor.
What if I schedule an appointment but forget to come?
If you schedule an appointment and forget to come or are more than 5 minutes late for your appointment, you will have to schedule another appointment. You will not be able to get another appointment for at least 24 hours.
What if the times that are available for advising appointments are not times that I am free?
If you cannot find an available advising time that works for you, send an e-mail to Melanie Loo, mwloo@csus.edu to try to arrange an alternate meeting time.
