As an undergraduate student here at UC San Diego, you have access to a unique academic advising system. Led by your Dean of Academic Advising, your college advisors are available to help you understand your general education requirements and navigate the university’s academic expectations. In addition to college advisors, students have advisors in multiple areas who can offer expert information specific to a student’s major, interest in pursuing internships or a particular career field, or plans to study abroad. You’re supported throughout your entire academic career, from admission to graduation.

The advising process is a partnership. You work with your advisors in collaboration and you each share responsibilities in your success. Your advisors will not make decisions for you, but will work with you to help discover your passions, talents, and plan for a fulfilling career. Academic Advisors meet one-on-one with students via appointments or walk in meetings.
