 How do I find out who my advisor is? |
If you are a new student and have never attended college or have transferred in less than 13 credits, your first advisor at CSU-Pueblo will be an advisor in the First Year Program. You can go to http://www.colostate-pueblo.edu/FYP/AdvisingAndRegistration/Pages/default.aspx to look up your advisor or call 549-2584. If you are in your third semester at CSU-Pueblo or are a transfer student with 13 transferrable hours, you will see a departmental advisor in your major. Contact the Department Chair for your major to determine who your advisor will be. If you are currently listed as Undeclared, you will see Pam Chambers (appointment only) who can be reached at 549-2581, in Student Academic Services. |
| When do I need to see my advisor? |
All students must meet with or contact an advisor prior to registration for the next semester. Students should also meet with their advisor prior to making schedule changes, when dropping or withdrawing from classes, or whenever you have a question or concern about your academic progress. |
| How do I decide on a major? |
Choosing a major should take into consideration your talents, preferences, values, and abilities. Career assessments are available to help you with making this decision. Doing your own research about particular majors and careers (talking to departmental advisors, shadowing professionals in particular careers, looking at career-oriented websites, etc.) will also help you decide on a major. The Career Center is also a resource which can give you assistance and guidance in choosing a major.

If a student has a double major or a major and a minor, the student should see a departmental advisor in both majors or the major and the minor to make sure all the requirements are being met.
