Academic Advising. At Humboldt State, academic advisors play a vital
role in a student’s education. All new students are assigned an academic
advisor during the first two weeks of classes, and are notified of the assignment
via email. With a few exceptions the advisor is a faculty member in the student’s
major. Undeclared undergraduate and unclassified post-baccalaureate students
have advisors assigned from the Advising Center, or from the faculty at large
until they have declared a major, while students participating in the EOP have
an
EOP advisor assigned for their first academic year in addition to their academic
advisor.
All continuing students must meet with their academic advisor before they
register to get advice on their academic progress and to discuss schedule
plans for the coming term. Students with questions about prerequisites or
the best way of sequencing major courses, with concerns about career or graduate
school choices, or with other issues involving their academic progress are
encouraged to visit their advisor at any time during the academic year. Undergraduates
who have reached junior standing should meet with their advisor to initiate
a major contract in preparation for applying for graduation, and to discuss
plans for their final terms of enrollment.
Preprofessional advising for admission to health science professional schools (including medical, dental, veterinary, optometry, and pharmacy) is available from designated faculty in our Biological and Life Sciences and Chemistry departments. Please refer to the “Preprofessional Health Programs” page in the Academic Programs section of this catalog. Pre-law advising is also available.

A variety of Humboldt State programs present opportunities for direct community
involvement. Community service, through the vehicle of service learning, helps
prepare for citizenship as well as a career.
Service opportunities with substantial academic content may carry academic
credit. Many departments have fieldwork requirements and well defined internships.
The Career Development Center lists internships and volunteer jobs.
The Service Learning Center, located in Nelson Hall West 139, coordinates
efforts to incorporate service learning into the curriculum at Humboldt State
University. Service learning is more than just community service; it is a specific
pedagogy that unites formal academic coursework with high quality service that
answers a community-identified need. The partnerships built between community,
students, and faculty are reciprocal, meaning shared responsibility and gain.
This process of experiential learning and community building includes academic
coursework, directed service, and guided reflection that, taken together, deepen
the experience for all partners. The Service Learning Center manages three
integrated programs: the Service Learning Faculty Development program, the
Service Learning Community Partners program, and the Service Learning Student
Interns program.
The Service Learning Faculty Development program supports the growth of service
learning pedagogy across all academic disciplines with ongoing faculty development
workshops, guest speakers, classroom presentations, matches with specific community
partners, training opportunities, and a service learning resource library.
The growing number of Service Learning Faculty Fellows in each of the university’s
colleges reflects HSU’s strong commitment to the theory and practice
of service learning pedagogy.
The Service Learning Community Partners program facilitates community and campus
collaboration, addresses community-identified needs, and builds community capacities.
The Service Learning Center sponsors two campus-wide Community Agency / Volunteer
Fairs each year, hosting dozens of local community organizations on the HSU
campus to meet with students looking to volunteer or connect with a community
partner for a service learning course. The Volunteer Fairs are held within
the first few weeks of each semester to allow students in service learning
courses (and faculty members teaching these courses) to identify the best partner
for their particular project.
The Service Learning Interns program develops student leadership skills by
allowing students to facilitate campus and community partnerships while promoting
civic engagement. Service Learning Interns support a range of activities across
the “continuum of service” at HSU, from organizing food and volunteer
drives to facilitating classroom reflections on issues of community service,
civic engagement, and social justice.
Additionally, the Service Learning Center is the campus sponsor of the annual
HSU Day of Caring, which mobilizes more than 500 students, staff, faculty,
administration, and community members to participate in a half-day of service
at more than 30 diverse sites and organizations in our local communities. The
HSU Day of Caring takes place on a Saturday in mid-September, and it is an
inspiring day of community connection, often leading to deeper levels of community
involvement for students.
Youth Educational Services (YES) offers leadership and volunteer opportunities through student-directed programs addressing social issues and under met needs in the community. These programs serve children, youth, seniors, mental health consumers, isolated cultural communities, homeless families, and the environment.

A Freshman Interest Group (FIG) and a Transfer Interest Group (TRIG) each consist of approximately 25 freshmen or transfer students who take a set of thematically linked courses during their first semester. Each FIG/TRIG is typically comprised of 3-5 classes worth between 6 and 14 units. The courses in a FIG/TRIG meet HSU degree requirements such as General Education, American Institutions, Diversity and Common Ground, or major requirements, except the one-unit seminar which is a one-unit elective.
FIGs/TRIGs provide new students with:
Most every FIG/TRIG includes a one unit seminar class. This special feature was designed to assist students in making a smooth transition to Humboldt. The seminar helps students meet friends and potential study partners. Test-taking, study skills, and time management skills are reviewed during the seminar for greater academic success. The theme of each FIG/TRIG is explored in greater depth during the seminar, and field trips are often used as part of the seminar experience. Last fall many FIG seminars took advantage of team building experiences through Service-Learning, field trips, and participation in Humboldt’s Student Leadership Conference.
There are many benefits to joining a FIG/TRIG. Students in FIGs/TRIGS are retained at a significantly higher rate, and overall are more satisfied with their Humboldt experience. In addition, FIG/TRIG students generally complete more units during the fall semester, are more satisfied with their relationships with faculty, are more satisfied with their academic experiences, and participate in more community service activities.
Associated Students. A student who pays the student body fee is a voting member of the Associated Students (AS), eligible to hold office in student government, serve on university committees, participate in club activities, and receive student discounts.
Students are represented by the Associated Students Council (ASC). Its members
include three representatives from each of Humboldt’s three colleges,
two undeclared representatives, and a graduate student representative. Terms
are for one year. Each spring, students elect the 12 representatives, a president,
and three vice presidents.
The ASC is committed to “furthering the educational, social, and cultural
interests of Humboldt students, as well as ensuring the protection of student
rights and interests.”
One chief ASC responsibility is administering the annual budget, derived from
student fees. More than 20 programs receive funds from the Associated Students,
including the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology, campus recycling, the
children’s center, club support, drop-in recreation, and the multi-cultural
center. ASC also provides travel funds to clubs and grants for on-campus events.
The ASC meets regularly in open session. To become involved, drop by the Associated
Students office in the south lounge of the University Center, or call 826-4221.
Serving on Committees. Fifty university committees have students
as voting members. To serve on a committee, contact the AS office early in
the semester. The committee structure handbook published by the AS lists committee
openings.

On-campus Housing. Humboldt State University is a residential campus. Most Humboldt students come from long distances, and many reside on campus their first and second years.
Life on campus is much more than studying, eating, and sleeping.
The residence halls offer a place to live and learn, make lifelong
friendships, and experience community living. Students get involved in social
and educational programs, serve in leadership positions with the residence
hall student government, and participate in special living communities.
Benefits of living on campus are numerous. Studies show that students living
in residence halls get better grades, are more active in academic activities,
and have a higher graduation rate than the general university population. Another
benefit is convenience. Campus residents don’t have to spend time shopping,
preparing meals, or commuting to school, and they are close to resources such
as the library, recreational facilities, and classrooms. Living on campus is
a great way for students to begin their academic careers.
Humboldt's facilities, located in a spectacular natural setting, consist of
six different residence hall living areas. Each is unique and provides various
options for individual styles and personal preferences. All rooms are
equipped with computer connectivity and each student may connect to the internet
via the campus’s computer network or wireless access.
Redwood and Sunset Halls, known as “The Hill,” are
traditional residence halls. Each of the three-story buildings houses 210 students
in double
and single rooms.
The Canyon consists of eight separate buildings, each three
stories and home to about 50 students. There are singles, doubles, triples,
and four-person suites.
Cypress Hall is a series of suites built up the slope of a hillside. Each suite
houses 7-12 people in double and single rooms and has a common bathroom, living
room, and small kitchen.
Creekview Apartments consist of four 3-story buildings, each home to 12 apartments. Each apartment houses 5-6 students in double and single rooms and has a kitchen, living room, and bathroom.
The Campus Apartments are home to 175 students in a four-level complex. Each apartment has two rooms with private entrances that share an adjoining kitchen. Rooms house either one or two residents and have private bathrooms.
The Manor is Humboldt’s smallest living area, housing 45 students in three-person apartments. Each apartment has a double and single room and a kitchen, living room, and bathroom.
Each residence hall room comes equipped with a bed, mattress pad, desk, chair, dresser, carpet, wastebasket, recycling container, and window covering. Each room is wired for telephone service, which may be arranged with AT&T. Small refrigerators and microwave/refrigerator units are available for rent during the academic year. Students must provide their own linens, towels, pillow, blankets, study lamps, and personal items.
Students living in the residence halls (with the exceptions of Creekview, Campus Apartments, and the Manor) are required to purchase a meal plan (see Dining
Services).
What does it all cost? The following rates are estimated amounts for the 2009-10 academic year. Rates will be finalized and posted online in February.
Single room $5,810 - 6,070

Many studentsserve as docents who lead programs for visiting school groups.
Humboldt opened the Natural History Museum in 1989 thanks to a generous gift by Wells Fargo Bank. The museum and its store are open to the public by donation ($3.00 adults, $2.00 children) Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit the museum Web site at www.humboldt.edu/~natmus.
If there's a problem a student can't work out with an instructor or staff member, the ombudsperson serves as an impartial arbiter to settle disputes. Students should try to resolve conflicts by talking with the instructor (or staff member) and then, if necessary, discussing the problem with the department chair or college dean.
If a problem remains unresolved, the student may contact the ombudsperson. Advisors or department heads provide the name and phone number of the ombudsperson. Students may also contact the Vice President for Student Affairs.
Humboldt requires all new students to go through orientation. The Humboldt
Orientation Program is offered several times during the summer and once each August and January. HOP acquaints new students and their parents with the university and surrounding community.
New students meet with advisors from their major departments and attend peer
groups (led by highly trained student counselors) designed to orient them to
Humboldt’s academic regulations and degree requirements. They register
for classes and tour the campus and community. They also get to know other new
students and discuss college life through social events and outdoor
adventures.
For families of new students, family and guest orientation offers tours, receptions, meetings with academic representatives, and special workshops to address “letting go” issues.
Detailed information is mailed to all new Humboldt students. Contact HOP at (707)
826-3510, Nelson Hall East 207.
Many students, living on campus or off, get around without a car. Because
parking is at a premium, commuting to campus is often easier for those who
walk, bicycle, or ride the bus.
Except for parking meters, campus parking requires a permit, purchased by the
semester or the day. See “Fees at Humboldt State University” for
dollar amounts.
Visitors may obtain a parking permit at the Parking & Commuter Services
Office, or from the permit dispenser, both located on Harpst Street. Semester-long
parking permits for motorcycles and mopeds are only one quarter of the cost
of automobile permits.

The mission of the award winning Campus Recycling Program is waste reduction, waste prevention,
and education on our campus and in the surrounding community. CRP engages in
recyclable material collections, composting programs, environmental education,
waste prevention training, and environmentally sound product procurement policies.
CRP provides a means for students to take responsibility for the waste they
generate and to make a positive contribution to the quality of their environment.
Students involved in CRP design and administer programs to benefit the entire
student body. When these students leave the university, the leadership and
initiative they have developed become valuable assets.
In nearly three decades, Humboldt State’s waste reduction efforts have
grown from a small office-paper recycling program into a model program that
diverts approximately 60% of its waste from the landfill. Glass, aluminum,
tin, five types of paper, and #1 and #2 plastic bottles are recycled in more
than 350 containers located across the campus. CRP also sponsors yearly collection
events for phone books, textiles, books, and other reusable items.
The Campus Recycling Program’s excellent example has netted a bevy of
awards, including selection by the California Integrated Waste Management Board
as a model waste reduction campus for the CSU system. To find out more, visit
the website www.humboldt.edu/~recycle or call 826-4162.
More and more college students are not entering right out of high school. Over 1/3 of Humboldt's student body is 25 or older. Humboldt is well prepared to assist nontraditional students in their college experience.
The Over-60 Program enables California residents over 60 to register for classes (for a nominal fee) and work on degrees. Contact the Office of Admissions for more information.
The Office of Admissions, 826-4402, offers advising services for reentry students seeking admission to Humboldt. Already-enrolled reentry students should seek the guidance of the advisors assigned from within their departments. They can also obtain advice from the university’s Advising Center in SBS 295, (707) 826-5224.
Arcata Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary. At the edge of Humboldt Bay are 229 acres of city- and state-owned sanctuary with an interpretive center that benefit students in wildlife, biology, environmental resources engineering, botany, fisheries, and natural resources interpretation. Projects at the site include: a cogeneration system using methane digesters; natural wastewater treatment processes; and an aquaculture program devoted to riparian and wetland restoration and to rearing salmon, trout, and oysters in treated wastewater.
Art Foundry. The university’s art foundry is the largest on the West Coast. Almost 4000 pounds of bronze is poured each year. With each event, crowds gather to watch the fascinating molten flow. Students in the metal sculpture program learn sand mold and ceramic shell techniques for the lost-wax process of casting bronze, iron, or aluminum sculptures. The foundry offers excellent metal sculpture equipment, including welders and cutters for metal fabrication. Humboldt’s broader sculpture curriculum encourages creativity through a variety of materials, including laminated paper, stone, plastics, wood, and found objects.
Biological Sciences Greenhouse. Humboldt State’s splendid greenhouse contains plant specimens from more than 175 families—one of the most diverse collections in California. Individual rooms, ranging from a desert room to a fern room, offer students a unique opportunity to study the world’s plant life in one setting.
Chamber Music Library. The university’s Chamber Music Collection is an outgrowth of nearly half a century of summer chamber music workshops. One of the finest collections on the West Coast, it contains more than 3000 works for chamber ensembles (string quartets, piano trios, string trios, wind quintets, sextets, etc.).
Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research. Humboldt State supports an institutional review board (IRB) in compliance with federal regulations to enable students and faculty to conduct research using human subjects. The IRB’s function is to protect research subjects, including student volunteers, from risks of physical, psychological, or social harm. The IRB promotes the human rights and dignity of research subjects by providing voluntary, informed consent and risk/benefit analysis of research proposals. All research involving human subjects must be thus reviewed and approved for safety before recruitment of subjects may begin.
Human subjects research includes, among other categories, surveys, interviews, obser-vations of public behavior, psychological research, social research, and physiological research. This applies to all research conducted at Humboldt State, using university facilities, by employees, students, or other persons otherwise affiliated with the university, or using university employees or students as subjects. This policy applies to the university and its auxiliaries. For further information, contact the Office for Research and Graduate Studies, 826-3949.
Computer Access. Students can access mainframe,
mini, and microcomputers from many sites on campus. Various programming languages
and databases are available, as well as pre-written software applications.
Students also are provided personal email and Web accounts.
Computer labs house both Macintosh and PC-compatible microcomputers, available
for use by classes, students, and faculty. In addition, numerous departments
have microcomputers in their teaching labs.
A student help desk is available for walk-in, call-in, email, and website
support.
Dunes Preserve. Students find instructional and research opportunities in a protected ecosystem at the 300-acre Lanphere Dunes Preserve, part of the Humboldt Wildlife Refuge. The dunes, bounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Mad River Slough, contain rare natural habitats of the California coast.
Earthquake Education. Students and faculty working with the Humboldt Earthquake Education Center take an active role in studying local and regional earthquakes. Both science and nonscience majors help prepare and disseminate information through publications, workshops, the Humboldt Earthquake Hotline, 826-6020, and the Internet at www.humboldt.edu/~geodept/earthquakes/eqk_info.
Energy Research Center. The Schatz Energy Research Center develops technologies for a clean and renewable hydrogen economy. These technologies include making hydrogen from solar energy (solar electrolysis) and regenerating electricity from hydrogen (in fuel cells).
SERC’s fuel-cell power systems, among the most successful in the country,
allow the use of solar energy even when the sun doesn’t shine. They are
safe and clean—their only by-product is pure water—and their electricity
can power vehicles, appliances, or even homes or businesses. The lab has produced
the world’s only solar hydrogen/fuel cell facility as well as America’s
first fuel cell-powered car.
The Schatz Energy Research Center was founded in 1989 with a generous grant
from Dr. L.W. Schatz. The center’s staff consists of 15 professional
engineers and scientists, mostly graduates of Humboldt’s engineering
program. Projects range in size from small local initiatives to multimillion-dollar,
government-funded programs.
At the university’s Telonicher Marine Lab, SERC produced the nation’s
first functioning solar hydrogen/fuel cell system to power the lab’s
fish tank air compressor. For the City of Palm Desert, SERC designed, fabricated,
and installed fuel-cell power systems for a fleet of vehicles along with the
nation’s largest solar hydrogen generation and dispensing station, capable
of refueling the Palm Desert fleet.
Other projects include creating portable fuel-cell systems for remote power
(for a Yurok tribal telecommunications repeater site, for instance, and for
residential
applications in Alaska) and a wide range of educational projects.
Fish Hatchery. Humboldt is one of the few universities with an on-campus fish hatchery. The hatchery recirculates 900 gallons of water each minute. Fish-rearing facilities include an earthen brood pond, concrete raceways, circular ponds, fiberglass circular tanks, and hatching troughs. Students rear trout from the egg through to brood stock. Grown fish are used for classroom instruc-tion and research by both undergraduate and graduate students.
Coopertive Fish Research Unit. The only one of its kind in the state, the California Cooperative Fishery Research Unit conducts research in response to state, national, and regional need. Graduate fisheries students work on aquatic problems as part of their degree. The Co-op Fisheries Unit is a joint effort of the university, the U. S. Geological Survey, and the California Department of Fish and Game. To learn more, call (707) 826-3268 or visit the Wildlife & Fisheries Building, Room 212.
Forests, University. Humboldt State has two forests dedicated to the educational and research needs of the students and faculty.
The L.W. Schatz Demonstration Tree Farm was donated to the university (along with an endowment) as a classroom and laboratory. In this 385-acre mixed-species forest, about 25 miles east of campus, research focuses on the needs of the small landowner.
The Freshwater Forest, a coastal conifer forest owned by Pacific Lumber Company, is used as a teaching facility through the generosity of the owner. The 300-acre tract, seven miles south of campus, is excellent for studying local conifers.
Game Pens. Students receive firsthand experience with wildlife at the campus game pens. The facility features a huge flight cage where animals move with much freedom. It also has waterfowl ponds and several large holding pens.
Human Performance Laboratory. Laboratory. Humboldt’s laboratory
is a resource center for those wanting a baseline assessment of their health.
At the same time, the lab trains students in exercise science/wellness management.
From athletes with an Olympic fitness agenda to persons with special conditions
(arthritis, asthma, heart problems, pregnancy)—everyone can benefit from
the laboratory’s resources. A battery of tests profile the blood, analyze
dietary nutrition, and gauge body composition and aerobic fitness. State-of-the-art
equipment, such as the lactate analyzer, advances graduate research and puts
Humboldt on the map in human performance technology.
Marine Laboratory. Marine Laboratory. In the coastal town of Trinidad, 11 miles north of campus, students in fisheries biology, oceanography, geology and the biological sciences take classes and conduct research at the Telonicher Marine Laboratory.
The Lab includes a circulating seawater system, lecture rooms, several
research labs, a computer lab, and various kinds of microscopes and instrumentation
for faculty and student use. Nearby Trinidad and Humboldt Bays and the Pacific
Ocean provide rocky and sandy intertidal and subtidal habitats for further
study.
The Lab is open for visitors from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the week
and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends when HSU is in session. Local
fishes and invertebrates are on display, and there is a simulated tide
pool area
containing invertebrates that may be touched. For more information,
call 707/826-3671. To schedule group tours, call the Marine Naturalist
at 707/826-3689.
Marine Wildlife Care Center. The center operates both as a training complex for students in the wildlife program and as a regional rescue center for marine birds injured as a result of oceanic oil spills. The 4500-square-foot facility serves the coastal region from Point Arena to the Oregon border.
Natural History Collections. Humboldt State maintains some of the most important collections of plants and animals in the Pacific Northwest. Most of these collections are the only ones of their kind between central California and northern Oregon. Each collection is available to qualified undergraduate and graduate students.
The University Herbarium, largest in the CSU system, contains over 190,000 specimens of algae, fungi, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants. It stores reprints, monographs, and floras.
The Forestry and Range Herbarium is national in scope and supports the instructional programs in those areas.
The Marine Invertebrates Collection focuses on invertebrates from central to northern California. Approximately 1000 species are represented by over 5000 specimens.
The Fisheries Collection, largest in the CSU and fourth largest in California, contains approximately 46,000 specimens. The focus is on the freshwater and marine fishes of the Pacific Northwest, but it also has representatives of groups worldwide.
The Wildlife Museum is the primary Humboldt State repository for birds. It contains about 14,000 specimens, including birds, nests and eggs, and some mammals. It is worldwide in scope and includes extinct species, collected in the late 1800s and a number of rare and endangered species.
The Vertebrate Museum houses approx-imately 8,000 specimens with worldwide representation. Additionally, about 1,500 amphibian and reptile specimens are maintained. The mammal collection is accredited by the American Society of Mammalogists and the museum is part of the federal Marine Mammal Stranding Network.

Observatory. Astronomy students take a bus up Fickle Hill in Arcata to use the university observatory. It is located only 10 miles from campus but over 2000 feet above sea level. Far from city lights, the site has two observatory buildings, housing two 14-inch telescopes and six 8-inch telescopes. Students go far beyond textbook photos in observing stars, planets, and galaxies.
Seagoing Vessels. Biology, fisheries, geology, oceanography, and wildlife classes use the university’s 90-foot, 143-ton research vessel, the Coral Sea, for field trips to support both undergraduate/graduate instruction and advanced undergraduate and graduate research. Besides the Coral Sea, a number of smaller watercraft are used for instructional and research purposes.
Wildlife Refuge. The Wright Wildlife Refuge is a 5.5 acre parcel on the eastern edge of Eureka, jointly managed by the Humboldt Area Foundation and the Wildlife Department. Ms. Wright’s endowment supports wildlife management, research, and education on the refuge. The area provides many opportunities for independent research by Humboldt State students. Students also participate in a bird-banding program ongoing on the site.
There are many opportunities for students at Humboldt State University to study abroad for a year, a semester, or the summer and receive academic credit.
