Yes, most students will work with a variety of advisors during their time at Chico State as each advisor specializes in advising for specific programs and/or policies. You should seek advising from your major advisor first, as your major courses will typically take priority in your scheduling and planning. Students should then follow up with an advisor who specializes in General Education (GE) as needed.
