Counseling Services
The academic counselors and support staff of the Counseling Center provide students with information regarding academic planning, institutional and transfer requirements, and professional career preparation requirements. These counselors specialize in academic planning, and work in collaboration with the counselors and support staff of the Career Center and Transfer Center.
ACADEMIC COUNSELING SERVICES
• Counseling Appointments:
Meeting with an academic counselor at least once a semester is essential to your success. An appointment may be scheduled in advance at the front desk of the Counseling Center or by calling (650) 574-6400. If appointments are unavailable due to registration periods you may see a counselor on a walk up (first come first served) basis. This service is available year round.
• Student Education Plans (SEP):
If you plan to obtain a degree here at CSM or transfer to another institution to complete your educational goals, a SEP should be developed during the student's first semester at CSM and throughout a student's enrollment at CSM. An SEP outlines a suggested course of study for the individual student based on major, transfer plans and sequence of courses. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop and update their plan each semester or when a change is made to their major, transfer institution or other pertinent objectives.
• Transfer Advising:
Counselors provide transfer information, such as: General Education Requirements, (IGETC and CSU Breadth), preparation for major courses, general admissions requirements, and information on the UC and CSU systems, as well as California independent and many out of state colleges and universities. With counselor guidance, students can explore options and create a plan to transfer. The student may then be referred to the Transfer Center for more in-depth information.
• Degrees/ Certificates:
With the option of over 87 degrees and 51 certificates, a student often remains undecided on a major. Counselors are available to discuss options and give general information on each major offered. They can also provide Major Sheets, discuss prerequisites and general career information. Referrals can be made to the appropriate college and community resources.
• Probation/Disqualification:
When a student is placed on Academic Probation/Disqualification, or Progress Probation/Disqualification, counselors are available to counsel students on the most effective ways to achieve good academic standing. It is strongly recommended that students seek counseling as soon as possible to preserve their academic record. For information on district policy click here.
