Advising

Undergraduate Students

All School of Music majors and minors are assigned to an advisor. If you do not know who your advisor is please contact Dr. Ginwala, (cginwala@sfsu.edu)

Majors in the College of Liberal & Creative Arts (LCA) should consult with two advisors each semester: (1) an advisor in the major and (2) a general education and university requirements advisor in the LCA Advising Resource Center. Students who are completing a minor or an additional major should see an adviser in those programs as well.
