Advising Model
The role of advising is shared by major (faculty) advisors and professional academic advisors. Academic advising is a continuous process that supports students throughout their academic journey at the University. Students are ultimately responsible for their educational planning and meeting all graduation requirements. Students need to be familiar with the University policies, as well as major and degree policies. All advising regarding the major is done by major advisors. In order to ensure academic success and remain on course, students are encouraged to maintain regular contact with academic and major advisors.
Students may stop by the Advising Center to schedule an appointment with one of our academic advisors. Academic advisors are busiest during registration periods and the first few weeks of the semester. Students are encouraged to schedule advising sessions during the non-peak times. Major advisors are available on a walk-in basis or by appointment. Each semester, office locations, hours and phone numbers of major advisors are posted in the display case outside the Advising Center.
New Transfer Students
Students will receive information about advising and registration procedures after officially being admitted to the University. At 海角社区CI, a student's first experience with academic advisors will take place through group advisement workshops during Transfer Island View Orientation. All newly admitted transfer students will be required to attend orientation.
Transfer Island View Orientation (TIVO)
During TIVO, Advising Workshops will include information about how advising takes place at 海角社区CI, as well as information about general education, graduation and major requirements. Advisors will provide assistance for interpreting the University catalog, schedule of classes and will provide helpful tips for first semester course planning. Students will receive important information regarding access to major checklists, class listings, and the online University Catalog. During the workshop students will receive registration procedures and instructions for registering online.

Systemwide Placement Test Requirements
The California State University requires each entering undergraduate, except those who qualify for an exemption, to take the 海角社区 Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) examination and the 海角社区 English Placement Test (EPT) prior to enrollment. These placement tests are not a condition for admission to the 海角社区, but they are a condition of enrollment. They are designed to identify entering students who may need additional support in acquiring the basic English and mathematics skills necessary to succeed in 海角社区 baccalaureate-level courses.
Undergraduate students who do not demonstrate college-level skills in mathematics will be placed in appropriate remedial programs and activities during the first term of their enrollment. Students placed in such programs in mathematics must complete all remediation in their first year of enrollment. Failure to complete remediation by the end of the first year may result in denial of enrollment for future terms. Students register for the EPT and/or ELM at their local 海角社区 campus. Questions about test dates and registration materials may be addressed to Student Life located in the Bell Tower, Room 1769, 805-437-8510.
