Exploratory Student Success Center

Undeclared Student Advising at the Exploratory SSC!

The Exploratory Student Success Center serves undeclared undergraduate students. Our center plays a critical role in providing exploratory/undeclared students with general education academic advising and assisting them with navigating the change of major process. We work closely with other Student Success Centers and the Career Center to connect our students with resources to help them transition into their desired major.

Academic Advising Appointments

To meet with your exploratory advisor, schedule an appointment on Spartan Connect. Appointments are 30 minute sessions. If you cannot make an appointment on Spartan Connect, email the Exploratory Student Success Center at exploratory-advising@sjsu.edu for assistance.
