 Faculty Advising Best Practices for Registration Advising

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and CSU protects the privacy of student educational records and generally limits access to these records to only the student. It is important to note that:

• FERPA begins upon attendance at a post-secondary institution, regardless of age and minor status.
• The student holds FERPA rights directly, and parents lose their right of access to their children's education records once they are a matriculated student.
• Students can fill out a request in PeopleSoft to give 鈥淎uthorization to Release Records鈥� to family members or other persons if they would like.

For more information on what FERPA is, how you can check if a student has given permission to access their information, etc., check out The Passport Instruction Manual (see 鈥淔ERPA: Permissions to speak to a Parent, Spouse or Named Other鈥� and 鈥淎ccessing FERPA from The Passport鈥� sections).

To learn how to view your advisees in the PeopleSoft Advisor Center, check out our Faculty and Advising Handbook (see 鈥淧eopleSoft Advisor Center 鈥� Student Center鈥� section).

To review your advisees in , log in and on the "Staff Home" main page you can see your advisees

Students may elect to take courses outside of Cal Maritime to satisfy their degree requirements as long as the course is pre-approved for transfer through the Course Equivalency Request form. For more info about this process, see our Guide to Taking Courses Outside of Cal Maritime. 

There are restrictions on where certain courses must be completed, due to U.S. Coast Guard or CSU requirements. These courses include, but are not limited to:

• STCW courses - must be taken at Cal Maritime. STCW courses are indicated on each major鈥檚 Curriculum Roadmap.
• EGL 300/301/302 Graduate Writing Assessment Requirement - must be taken at Cal Maritime (unless transferred in by a CSU post-baccalaureate student).
• Upper division GE courses - must be taken in-residency at a CSU campus.
• Upper division courses (300 and above) - should be taken at a baccalaureate-granting institution. 
• HIS 100/101 U.S. History - although it is not required to be taken at Cal Maritime, we recommend this be taken here at Cal Maritime since our HIS 100 and 101 courses cover both the American Institutions I requirement and Area F Ethnic Studies requirement (required of all CSU students entering 2021 and after). If a student elects to take U.S. History elsewhere, they will need to take an Ethnic Studies course as well.
  • FYI! AP U.S. History can also be used to satisfy Area C2 of Area D lower division requirements if needed. 
• GOV 200 American Government - must include a California state and local government component within the course, which is usually only found at California Community College or CSU campuses.
  • Please note that AP U.S. Government & Politics does not satisfy our American Institutions II/GOV 200 requirement since it is missing the CA state and local government assessment. It can be used to satisfy an Area D lower division requirement if needed.
