Advising for CCS Majors and Minors
EFFECTIVE 3/13/20, all face-to-face advising for CCS majors and minors will be temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Email and phone advising will continue.
Phone advising by appointment is reserved for our majors and minors only. Appointment slots are currently available on Thursdays between 11:30-12:30 and 3-4 PM. Please email the undergraduate advisor, Dr. Maria Ibarra at [email protected], with a phone appointment request 48 hours in advance.
Email advising is very useful for a form signature request or a general question about the major.
For general advising questions not related to the major, please contact the university’s Office of Advising and Evaluations. Virtual advising sessions (and phone) are available to assist you with questions regarding General Education requirements, progress towards graduation, course planning, and understanding advising tools and resources. https://advising.sdsu.edu/advising/seeing_an_adviser/virtual-advising
Annual summer orientations sessions for our first year and transfer students are organized by the College of Arts and Letters and information about these are sent to you directly and posted here.
The department website is a great resource, especially for commonly asked questions and for information about our faculty and current events. You can also find a range of information under the “Undergraduate Program” tab, including

Instructions: If you wish to declare CCS as a major or minor, please fill out top part of the appropriate form then e-mail it to me for my signature. I will then sign and return to you so that you may submit it to the Registrar’s office.
