Advising

All Liberal Studies Majors: 

Please meet with the LBST Staff Advisor, Raymond Gandara (rgandara@fullerton.edu). Raymond can answer questions related to major advising, GE advising, schedule building, holds, petitions, graduation planning, minor exploration, and more.

Click here to schedule a 1-1 Zoom or in-person appt (use your CSUF student email when prompted): LBST Advising with Raymond Gandara *

*NOTE: 1-1 Appts are for current students only. If you are an incoming freshman or transfer student and Fall 2026 is your first term at CSUF, you’ll attend a mandatory major advising session in the summer to discuss course registration. Look for an email from (hssuccessteam@fullerton.edu) or reach out to them directly for more info to sign up for major advising.

 

Interdisciplinary Thematic Emphasis/Concentration Students (THEME):

You may meet with Raymond to discuss major, GE, grad planning, and suggestions for potential theme courses. 

Eventually you should meet with the LBST Department Chair, Dr. April Bullock (abullock@fullerton.edu), or another LBST faculty advisor (select “Professor” filter) to review your thematic plan and senior research project. 

Please call (657) 278-2794 to make an appointment with a LBST faculty advisor.

LBST Advising Sheets:

The advising sheets listed below are categorized based on Catalog Year (i.e. the academic year you started at CSUF). Be sure to select the appropriate sheet for your CY to ensure you are taking the correct required courses. Your CY is listed at the top of your TDA.

Catalog Year: Fall 2026

Catalog Year: Fall 2025

Catalog Year: Fall 2024

Catalog Year: Pre-Fall 2024 **

**NOTE: If you are a pre-FA24 student, you can use the FA24 advising sheets if you wish. You would just need to cross off LBST 100 & LBST 101 since students from your year are not required to take these courses.
