Student Services Advising appointments are for CURRENT School of Information (MLIS, MARA, MS Informatics, Post-Master’s Certificate, Advanced Certificate, and Teacher Librarian) graduate students.

In the Student Services Advising Appointments, students can receive personalized advising on administrative topics, such as: understanding SJSU policies, academic standing, coaching on how to use the eAdvising tools to choose electives, referral to campus resources, planning for internships or e-Portfolio, and receiving a grad check prior to submitting the degree Candidacy plan.

MLIS Faculty Pathway Advisors are also available by email to help with focused questions about narrowing down elective choices. MLIS students are free to contact more than one pathway faculty advisor for advice, as students may be taking classes from multiple career pathways.

All Student Services Advising appointments are individual. No group appointments are scheduled.

For current and prospective BSISDA students, please see the BSISDA Advising page for further assistance: https://ischool.sjsu.edu/bsisda-advising
