Advising

These are undergraduate advising hours for the Spring 2024 semester.  Official advising hours end with the last day of classes, so if you need help after that please e-mail the appropriate advisor(s).

We have four advisors for undergraduate majors and credential students this semester:

  • If you are a English Literature, Creative Writing, or Rhetoric and Composition major, you can see Prof. Rene Treviño or Prof. Norbert Schürer. Both advisors have walk-in in-person advising hours, so you don’t need an appointment (but feel free to e-mail if you want one).
  • If you are an English Education major, you should see Prof. Stephanie Johnson.
  • If you are interested in the English Single Subject Credential Program, you should see Dr. Nina Wooldridge.

Advisors can generally help with concerns regarding your major, general education, and progress towards graduation. They can address problems with transfer credit and study abroad courses. They can talk about changing your English major or minor and discuss different options within English, including the Single Subject Credential Program. Whenever you visit or contact an advisor, please have your student ID number ready or include it in your message.

If you are looking for advising regarding our MA in English graduate program, please contact our Graduate Advisor Prof. Dennis López at dennis.lopez@csulb.edu. His advising hours in Spring 2024 are Wednesdays 3 pm – 5 pm and by appointment over Zoom.
