Advising
The Department of Physics and Astronomy is here to support your academic success at San Francisco State University. One key educational service that we provide as a department is advising. Advising is not only required by the department and by University policy, but it can also help speed your progress through the program and secure the completion of all of your degree requirements in a timely manner. All Physics and Astronomy majors need to see their advisor at least once a year. Please arrange to see your advisor before enrolling in classes for Fall 2010. If you do not know who your advisor is, please see Ms. Caroline Alcantara in the physics office and she can give you that information. If you fail to get advising, a hold will be placed on your registration at the end of early priority registration. We look forward to seeing you and helping you to get the most from your SFSU experience.
All contact information for department advisors can be found on the People page.
