Student Advising
Several advising options are available to California University of Management and Sciences. First, full-time faculty members are available for academic advising. These academic advisors are available during regular business hours for consultation with regard to academic and career planning.

The scope of the academic advice includes:

1. Analyzing interests related to academic and career planning.
   
2. Determining the best educational program for achieving a chosen career or goal.
   
3. Selecting courses and student activities that maximize opportunities and potential.
   
4. Developing an academic plan that encompasses both the course work and the supplemental needs of the student.
   

Second, the Office of Student Services provides assistance in finding part-time employment while at the University. This Office also provides confidential and personal advice concerning life situations which may affect the student's learning or personal development.


Student Orientation
The New Student Orientation program assists first-time students and new transfer students in their transition to CalUMS, expose new students to broad-based educational opportunities on campus, and introduce students to college life. This orientation is also designed to familiarize them with campus facilities, policies and regulations, faculty, administrators, and staff. The University offers this orientation during the first week of each quarter.

Library Orientation
The library orientation is designed to help new and current students learn more about library services and resources. This orientation is held at the beginning of each quarter for all students. The University also offers this orientation at any time if necessary.


Job Placement Services
In order to assist its degree students, the University provides job placement assistance within the University and through its network affiliations with computer, business, and healthcare related companies. Also, assistance in the preparation of the resume is provided upon student request. In addition, a bulletin board is maintained with job announcements and career opportunities. Students' personal resumes are maintained for alumni at their request. These services are provided at no cost to the student. The University, however, does not guarantee employment nor a specific level of income from its placement assistance. All these services are available from the Office of Student Services.

Students are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with this handbook as it offers current and pertinent information. It describes various student activities available on campus, as well as the rules and regulations affecting the students compiled by the Office of Student Services.


Student Body Association
All students are encouraged to participate in CalUMS's Student Body Association. This organization is recognized by the faculty and administration as important to the student's education and cultural experience.

Computer Laboratory
The computer laboratory helps students learn and practice their computer skills as well as language skills. It is equipped with desktop computers and a network laser printer. A computer laboratory coordinator is assigned to assist students in their use of the computers.

All desktop computers in the computer laboratory have been installed with software that includes business applications (e.g., word processing, electronic spreadsheet, database management, and presentation), programming languages, and tutorials. In addition, these multimedia computers give an opportunity for student to practice their speaking and listening skills by using the software programs installed for this purpose. By using a headset and a microphone, a student can listen, repeat, and compare the instructor's pronunciation with their own.
