Advisement Services

The College of Business & Economics Office of Undergraduate Advising provides services that support and promote student success. We provide advising for majors and minors in the main campus CBE Undergraduate Programs. We assist students from admission to graduation, support their academic growth, and engage them as lifetime members of the college learning community. Our services and programs support students' smooth transition into college, their transformation into owners of their academic careers, and promotes professional development.

Advising

New transfer students are invited to join our virtual New Student Advising Sessions where we will cover major and concentration requirements, how to plan for future semesters, and tips for student success. Students will also have time to speak individually with advisors. 

Individual invitations will be sent to a student's Horizon email. Students can also sign up on Bay Advisor.

Students do not need to schedule an appointment to attend a Drop-In Virtual Academic Advising Session. Only for current undergraduate students with a major or minor in the College of Business & Economics.

Meet with an advisor virtually by following the steps below:

  1. Login to your CSUEB Zoom account using your Net ID and password. 
  2. Select Join a Meeting or Join and enter Meeting ID: 510 885 3323.
  3. Once signed in, you will enter the Virtual Waiting Room. Please test your audio to ensure you have a connection. You will need to be able to hear and speak to the advisor.
  4. Academic Advisors will meet with students in the order in which students enter the Virtual Waiting Room. You will meet one-on-one with an advisor once one becomes available.

It is highly recommended that you join us using your computer as it allows for both advisor and student to share screens as necessary. However, if you do not have access to a computer, you may join us by:
