THE ADVISING CENTER HELPS
UNDECLARED STUDENTS AND EOP STUDENTS

Mission Statement

Sonoma State University's Advising, Career and Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) empowers Sonoma State students to be architects of their own futures through educational, career, and life planning.

We provide:

• Academic advising for undeclared and undecided students.
• Guidance and resources to all students in the areas of career development and employment.
• Access and support services for first-generation low-income EOP students.
• Administration and interpretation of standardized admission and placement tests.

We are committed to excellence in advising, teaching, and mentoring to address the needs of the whole student. We work in collaboration with the larger university community to provide an environment in which students are respected and diversity is valued.

Undeclared Majors

If you are an undeclared major, you're in the right place. Over one-third of our entering students have not declared a major and receive their academic advising from the professionals in the Advising Center. For more information, call for an appointment (664-2427) or come by Salazar Hall 1060 and visit us!

Students who have declared a major and need advising must contact their major department for academic advising.

EOP Students

All EOP students receive academic, career, and personal advising through the Advising Center. Advisors assist students with concerns regarding housing, financial aid, and balancing college with personal life demands while meeting graduation requirements. Click here to go to EOP's website.
