Academic Advising 

Advising in the College of Business Administration is a partnership between the 

Student Success Center and Faculty. 

Student Success Center 

The SSC serves undergraduate Business Administration students. We provide resources and support for 

student success. Our primary role is to assist students in developing a meaningful educational goal 

toward graduation. 

• Peer Mentors 

o 

Peer Mentors are current Stan State students studying Business Administration. They 

offer peer to peer support during office hours and academic presentations. They also 

assist with events like New Student Orientations and Meet the Firms Night. 

• Academic Advisors 

o 

Academic Advisors conduct academic, career, personal and social advising. Advising 

includes the development of educational plans, business course evaluations and 

articulations, as well as graduation approvals. 

Check the SSC website www.csustan.edu/cbassc or outside the office in DBH 217 for office hours and 

advising times, as well as a full list of faculty advisor contacts. (209) 667-3786 | cbassc@csustan.edu 

Faculty Advisors 

The College of Business Administration has 28 full time faculty advisors that can provide career advising 

and mentorship within your concentration. Advising can also include review of major/concentration 

courses, business course evaluations and articulations, as well as graduation approvals. 

Student Responsibilities 

Become knowledgeable of the university catalog, class schedule and resources including: 

• Business major degree sheets 

• Degree roadmaps 

• MAP-My Academic Pathway: STAN Planner, STAN Degree Progress, STAN Scheduler 

Before meeting with an advisor: 

1. Utilize your MAP tools to review and update your degree sheets. They can be found in your 

Student Portal. 

2. Think of goals for the semester and/or graduation you would like to meet. 

3. Come prepared with questions and suggested classes you would like to take. Advising is a 

collaborative effort between you and an advisor. 

**Academic advising is not mandatory but highly recommended to ensure you are on track to 

completing your degree requirements.
