Computer Science Freshman and Transfer FAQ
http://mictlan.sfsu.edu/~murphy/cs_advising_faq.htm

All students are encouraged to visit the SFSU Advising Center Web Site for information about new student orientations, general education advising and other campus resources.
I also recommend that you read through the following on-line sections of the SFSU Bulletin:

General information about how to plan your studies at SFSU
GE requirements and lists of courses that satisfy each requirement
Summary of Graduation Requirements (including information about ELM/EPT)
Checklist of University graduation requirements, including required exams and various restrictions

Freshmen and transfer students should read through the CS Department Notes on the B.S. Degree Program
before meeting with a Computer Science Freshman/Transfer advisor.
A paper copy of these notes can be obtained at the Computer Science Department Office (TH 906).
Prerequisite information for all courses can be found in the SFSU Bulletin Course Descriptions.

If you need a CS Transfer Equivalency Evaluation and/or if you have additional questions about the Computer Science degree requirements, please telephone or stop by during office hours.
See above for contact information.
Please note that I do not have any office hours during Summer or Winter break periods, however I will be answering questions via email on a regular basis.

Meet with a Computer Science Department Probation Advisor during office hours.
Please read all probation correspondance and forms carefully and be aware of University deadlines!
