New Student Orientation 2023

The College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts

The SDSU College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts welcomes our new transfer class of 2024 and our freshmen class of 2026!

Your major (or ROTC minor) is housed in one of our Schools or ROTC Departments and your School is where to find your major advisor.

On your scheduled orientation day, you’ll meet with our Assistant Dean for Student Affairs (handouts and contact info below). To meet with your major advisor, see the schedule below for recorded and live sessions, as well as handouts and contact emails. We suggest you attend or watch a recorded session with your major advisor before your day of orientation or very soon afterwards. You’ll need the advising information before registering for classes.

Don't forget to check out our PSFA Stories page and learn more about all of the exciting things that are happening in PSFA.
