How to meet with an advisor:
By appointment: To schedule a Zoom appointment with an advisor you may do this online through Bulldog Connect or call (559) 278-0300.
By walk-ins: If you would like to meet with an advisor on a drop in basis, the advising center provides walk-ins through Zoom. Students are seen on a first come, first serve basis.
Walk-ins will be held every Wednesday from 9:00-11:00am and 1:00-3:00pm. Zoom link: http://tinyurl.com/kremenwalkins
Helpful tips and important information:
- Please have your student ID ready during the check-in process. It will cut down on wait times.
- All interactions are intended for short 15 minute sessions, therefore, we are unable to update roadmaps, provide credential information, process Change of Major requests, or address probation concerns.
- If you have a hold on your account it will be removed as a courtesy and you will be scheduled for an appointment at a later date.

Prospective Credential Students
Master's degree candidates are advised by a faculty advisor or program coordinator. Faculty advisors and program coordinators provide support with program-related and professional questions such as:
- Which courses should I take?
- Is there a specific order for taking the courses?
- What are the program-specific requirements for graduation?
- Should I take the Comprehensive Exam or do a Project/Thesis?
- Are there any research opportunities for students?
For program advising, contact your assigned Faculty Advisor. You can find your assigned Faculty Advisor on your "Student Center" in MyFresnoState. If you do not have an assigned Faculty Advisor, contact your program coordinator.
