As a first year student in CLASS, for your first semester you will be enrolled in at least three of your required courses to ensure you get the spots you need! The first year students in our college are broken into groups -- cohorts -- by major field. You will take three classes with your cohort during your first semester, including your freshman composition course (A2/1A) and another lower division GE. All of these courses are required -- this path will steer you immediately towards graduation! You will have plenty of time to dig into your major as well, getting to know your field and your faculty.
Academic Advising
It is essential that you contact your main advisor to confirm you have a full schedule for your first semester. You can schedule an appointment or reach out to them by logging on to The Bay Advisor.
If you are a student athlete, please contact the Athletics Academic Advisor, Steve Spencer (steven.spencer@csueastbay.edu) to ensure you are enrolled in a full schedule.
If you are part of a fully online major program (such as Human Development, Ethnic Studies, Sociology, History, or Philosophy), please email class_ssc@csueastbay.edu to get connected with your advisor from the CLASS SSC to ensure you are enrolled in a full schedule. Please include "Fully Online First-Year" in the subject line and include your NetID in the email.
