Kremen School of Education and Human Development
Center for Advising and Student Services
Our academic advisors, admissions analysts and credential analyst are here to help you through the journey of college. We promote student achievement and success through proactive advising, analyzing and processing local, state, and federal documents, and collaborating with all constituents. We provide timely customer service and advocate to increase students’ retention, graduation, and future engagement with Fresno State.
Meeting with an advisor
We care about the health and safety of our students and will be using social distancing in the Center for Advising and Student Services. We are following evolving guidance from the CSU Chancellor’s Office, as well as state and local public health agencies and this decision has come out of an abundance of caution. Therefore, all advising interactions will be held through Zoom.
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.
Walk-in Wednesdays: These are intended for short 15 minute sessions, therefore, we are unable to update roadmaps, process change of majors, or address Probation concerns. Please schedule an appointment for any of these reasons.
Walk-ins are every Wednesday on Zoom from 9:00-11:00am and 1:00-3:00pm.
Walk-ins are on a first come, first served basis.

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.
