Meet with your assigned Business Academic Advisor to review the reason for your requested change of graduation term, if necessary, your advisor will submit the Change in Graduation term on your behalf or will guide you through any additional processes.

If the change is deemed necessary, it is important that you change your graduation date before class registration begins, otherwise you will not have a registration date assigned for future terms.

We recommend doing the following things before deciding to visit an Academic Advisor:

1. Review your Academic Requirements Report (through the Student Center on sso.csulb.edu) and take note of what courses you still need to complete (red square)
2. Review your Degree Planner (through the Student Center on sso.csulb.edu) for course recommendations
3. Use your respective Major Requirements Worksheet to plan for course sequencing (pre-requisites)

After doing the above, if you would like your advisor to review your class schedule, you may schedule a Quick Question appointment. If additional time is needed, your advisor can assist you in scheduling additional time.

There are many on-campus resources available that can help you improve your academic performance:

• Instructor office hours: If you are unable to attend office hours, contact your professor about scheduling an appointment
• Academic Coaching Appointments

If there are personal circumstances or challenges that are affecting your academic performance, please speak to an Academic Advisor or email us at cob-css@csulb.edu as soon as possible.

In order to withdraw, you need permission from your instructor and the chairperson of the course department.
