Academic Advising and Career Education (AACE)


Academic Advising & Career Education Website

AACE provides a full range of excellent academic advising to undergraduate students and career counseling services to all students and new graduates. Advising services include guidance and official updates on students’ progress toward completing their general education and graduation requirements (other than major requirements); assistance in developing realistic educational goals and a plan to achieve those goals; explanations of academic policies and procedures; and group advising for new students.

Career services at AACE help students navigate through their career development needs including career exploration, resume development, interview preparation, networking and negotiating skills, understanding the job market, and graduate school preparation. AACE hosts several career events throughout the year including general and specialized career fairs and group workshops. ACCE partners with global, national, and regional employers to connect with students through the Handshake job board and campus events. 

AACE is the academic advising home for undergraduate students who have not yet declared a major at Cal State East Bay. They offer academic counseling and specialized assistance in exploring, researching and selecting a major based on individual, educational, and career goals. Undeclared students who are placed on academic probation are required to see an AACE academic counselor and/or attend the workshop “Understanding Academic Probation” each semester until good standing is achieved.

In addition, AACE provides academic counseling and support services for all undergraduates who are experiencing academic difficulties such as those on academic probation or those who have been recently disqualified. Students (non-EOP) on academic probation are encouraged to meet with an AACE counselor to discuss strategies for improving their grades and academic standing.
