Advisors

Students who see an advisor annually graduate sooner and are better prepared upon graduating.

Seeing an advisor

  1. Contact from this list, an advisor who has expertise in your area of study, or, you may go directly to his/her office during open office hours.

  2. If your current transcripts are not available at My Sac State (likely if you transferred in the last year), bring copies of your grade reports, unofficial transcripts, or a summary of courses passed.
