About Advising
About
Sacramento State advising incorporates a student development model to connect academic progression to cultural, motivational, and psychosocial development. In addition to course, program, and career guidance, advising focuses on proactively building academic identity and a sense of belonging by integrating intrusive advising, coaching, and mentoring to meet students “where they are” developmentally rather than where we think “they should be” administratively. This means frequent and proactive “call-outs” to reach students at regular intervals to optimize course schedules and maximize progression, as well as an as-needed basis for students in academic or social distress.
