UBAC counselors meet with students interested in finding out the status of their degree or in planning their curriculum, as well as students on Academic Probation. Only students who are registered as an upper division Business Major or "Expressed Interest" in Business on My Sac State may schedule an individual appointment with an Undergraduate Business Advising Center Academic Counselor. All other students who are not able to change their status to Expressed Interest may stop by the UBAC during scheduled zoom drop-in advising or ask quick questions during our virtual office hours.
Appointments are currently available virtually and in person. Please click on the link below to schedule the appointment. Appointments will open Friday afternoons after 3:00 for the following week. If you have submitted a graduation application for Spring/Summer 2025 or are planning on submitting a graduation application for Spring/Summer 2025 you do not need to schedule a long term appointment. Please come to drop-in advising or email your advisor (see above).
The business advisors will have limited appointments the week of November 11 and no appointments the week of November 18 and November 25 to focus on drop-in advising for registration assistance.
