Advisement

There are two different kinds of advisement available to students:

1. Course Planning Advisement

For all your course advisement needs, set up an appointment with the designated CDV advisors. Your academic advisor is assigned according to your concentration. Please use the Toro Success Collaborative (TSC) Online Appointment System in myCSUDH or email chhsnadvising@csudh.edu for an appointment.

2. Faculty Advisement

Faculty Advisors can provide information regarding career choices, graduate school, and approving course substitutions. Students are assigned a faculty advisor by last name (see table below e.g. D-F would see Dr. Joshi). Please email the faculty advisor to make an appointment.  

Faculty advisors are only available during the academic year and are not available during the winter and summer breaks.
