Academic Advising
At Cal Poly Humboldt, academic advisors play a vital role in a student’s educational experience. Every student at Cal Poly Humboldt is assigned an academic advisor based on their major. A student may begin their college career with a professional academic advisor from the Academic and Career Advising Center, Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), Veterans Enrollment and Transition Services (VETS) or the Cultural Centers (CCAEs) for Academic Excellence, then transition to a major-based faculty advisor as they progress in their degree. Some majors will assign a faculty advisor throughout your time in the university but you can still access advising in ACAC, CCAEs or VETs. Academic advisors help students get the most out of college by using a holistic and justice-based developmental approach that facilitates students’ academic, professional, and personal growth. Recognizing students’ diverse identities and lived experiences to inform a strength-based approach, advisors: connect students to campus and community resources; provide information to enhance their education (e.g. study abroad, internships); support timely progress to degree with guidance on requirements; and discuss how students can integrate their education into their personal and professional goals. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their advisor multiple times throughout the academic year to ensure both timely graduation and understanding of resources available to make the most of their time in college.
