Academic and Career Assistance Services for Students

The Academic and Career Advising Center (ACAC) is virtual and in-person. ACAC provides individualized and culturally responsible services and resources to all Humboldt students and alumni. We are here to help you succeed in your present goals and plan your future. Many students have assigned academic advisors but all can come in for questions about GE requirements, DARS review, and other topics related to academics. All students have a career advisor based on their major that can help with career exploration, developing your résumé, and applying to jobs, internships and graduate school.
