Mandatory Advising

School of Nursing advising is intended to support student's academic success, facilitate their time to graduation, and to assist with enrollment management.  Advising is therefore required for all master's and certificate students during the designated mandatory advising period each semester. Students will be notified when the advising period is via their SF State email address.

There may be circumstances which require students to change their advisor. In these instances Change of Advisor form must be completed by the student and approvals must be received from both the current and proposed new advisors.

Undergraduate nursing students can receive General Education (GE) advisement by contacting any of the three offices indicated below. Students should bring a Degree Audit Report (DARS)/Degree Progress Report (DPR) to all advisement sessions.
