Newly admitted students are not able to schedule an appointment until after July 18. New students may visit the Virtual Front Desk for quick questions; otherwise we look forward to getting to know you and offering advising support through Golden Bear Advising (GBA) in June!
What is L&S College Advising?
Welcome! L&S College Advising provides academic guidance throughout your undergraduate career, from orientation to graduation. We help students navigate college policies, academic decision-making, developmental opportunities, and campus resources.
Quick L&S Advising Services
Schedule an L&S College Advising Appointment
L&S College Advising offers a variety of ways to meet 1:1 with an L&S College Adviser.
- Regular 1:1 appointments are prescheduled, 25-minute meetings that allow you to get personalized support from L&S College Advisers. These are meant for in-depth discussions rather than quick questions.
- Specialized advising services are pre-professional advising (e.g. pre-law and pre-med) and satellite advising (e.g. CLSD and DSP) that can cater to your specific advising needs.
Please note that L&S College Advisers are not the same as Undergraduate Major and/or Minor Advisers. To learn more about Undergraduate Major Advisers and how they differ, please scroll down and/or read our Major Advisers vs. College Advisers webpage for more information.
If you require accommodations, please contact the Disabled Students' Program (DSP).
Meet with an L&S College Adviser
L&S Advisers specialize in answering non-major-specific academic questions. Each L&S Adviser is also a part of an "Advising Neighborhood" which allows them to develop additional expertise on the majors within that Neighborhood. Students have the option to choose an Adviser from their major Neighborhood after they click "Book an L&S College Advising Appoinment" below.
Sample topics:
- Exploring majors or double majors
- Program planning while unsure about major direction
- Non-major degree requirements
- Struggling with a class or multiple classes
- Getting the most out of your undergraduate experience
- Connecting with campus resources for support
Specialized L&S Advising Services
Specalizing advising services include engaging with specific L&S College Advisers affilated through our satellite advising offices and through pre-professional graduate program advising.
