Who Is My Advisor?
How does Advising work at CSU?
Your advisor is assigned based on your major and classification (freshman, sophomore, etc). All Freshmen and Sophomores at CSU are assigned to professional advisors located in one of the CSU ADVISE locations. Juniors and Seniors are usually advised by department faculty, but a select few stay with CSU ADVISE.
Who Is My Advisor?
Your advisor's name is listed on the Student Homepage of your MyCSU Portal. If you do not find an advisor's name in your portal, you should contact the department to which you are assigned. Students who need help identifying their advisor may also contact (706) 507-8780.
Graduate Students are advised by the Graduate Program Coordinators - Please see the Program Coordinators List (PDF), to find your advisor. You can also visit the Graduate School site for more resources.
Undergrads may also use the list below to identify your advisor.
