Academic Advising Services
Academic advising and academic services are available to help you plan your course of study and to support you along the way. All students are required to receive approval from an academic
advisor prior to registration with the exception of continuing graduate students who are pursuing a degree or certificate. All undergraduate and first-time GGU graduate students are required to have their registration approved in advance, and all students are encouraged to speak with an academic advisor. Advisors can explain the sequence and strategies of an academic program. They can help you select classes in a logical and appropriate order, and help you satisfy requirements without delay or conflict. Students attending regional locations should contact the regional assistant director of enrollment services for advising appointments. Additional information regarding academic advising can be found on the website at www.ggu.edu or by calling 415-442-7845.
International Admissions and Advising Services
International admissions and advising services provides services and programs to students from countries throughout the world. Currently, more than 400 international students attend Golden Gate University during an academic year. A variety of social and cultural activities are provided. The office assists international students with understanding and interpreting US immigration regulations governing their status, designs and implements programs and services to enhance international students’ educational, personal and professional experience, and promotes and facilitates intercultural exchanges and understanding among all Golden Gate students.
International admissions and advising counsels students and scholars regarding employment regulations, immigration matters, travel, and medical care and health insurance. The office also provides information on cultural and community services. There are many rules, regulations and policies that apply to international students studying in the United States under nonimmigrant visas. All international students enrolling at GGU are encouraged to contact International Admissions and Advising Services to obtain information regarding their rights and responsibilities.
All international students enrolled at GGU, regardless of location, should seek immigration information and counseling through the San Francisco office.

Golden Gate University requires all students with a student or scholar visa to maintain health insurance from the first day that they enroll at the university through their last day of enrollment. Students must either enroll in the health insurance plan available to them at GGU when they register for classes each academic term, or must submit evidence of health insurance coverage that is equivalent to the health insurance coverage that is available through the university. Details about insurance for international students are provided by mail, posted on the GGU website (www. ggu.edu), and are distributed during the New International Student Orientation Week.
