Advising Center

Welcome to the College of Science Advising Center! Our goal is to provide College of Science undergraduate majors with all the information that they need regarding course scheduling and academic policies and procedures. The links on the right of the screen will provide you with a great deal of information, but we encourage you to come in as often as you need. We are here to help answer your questions as well as help you build a network of resources that will assist you in your ultimate goal – graduation.

It is important to understand the structure of advising at Cleveland State. Students receive undergraduate advising in two distinct areas: General Education Requirements and Major Requirements. College of Science students are advised of General Education Requirements, which are required of all undergraduate students regardless of academic program, through an Academic Advisor in the College of Science Advising Center. Advising regarding Major Requirements is received through a Faculty Advisor in the department which houses the academic major. Students are also encouraged to utilize the online undergraduate catalog, which contains information on both General Education and Major Requirements.

Graduate advising is conducted by a Faculty Advisor in the department which houses the program of study. As with undergraduate students, graduate students are also encouraged to utilize the online graduate catalog for more information on the coursework required of each academic program.
