Student responsibilities: Students are responsible for being aware of all announcements that are made in class, such as changes in exam dates, due dates of homework and papers, and cancellation of class due to instructor’s absence. Students are responsible for announcements made on days that they are absent.

Students must check their CSULA email account regularly for information from the instructor and the Department. Failure to do so may result in missed deadlines or other consequences that might adversely affect students. Note that you can forward this email account to any other account of your choosing.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT about Q2S conversion (Fall 2016):

CSULA is switching to the semester system beginning Fall 2016, and all students need to 1) plan ahead so they can graduate before the transition, or 2) create an individual advisement plan (IAP) if they will graduate after we transition to the semester system. If you will need to develop an IAP, when you log into your GET account, you will get a pop-up message informing you of this. For more information, please visit the website for the Office of Semester Conversion ( http://web.calstatela.edu/academic/aa/semester/students/). For help in planning ahead to graduate before transition or in creating an IAP, please contact one of the offices below.
