Schedule an L&S College Advising Appointment

PEAK PERIOD: Each semester, advising across campus sees a high demand for services during two distinct periods: at the beginning of the semester and once the schedule of classes is released for the following term. We are currently in the second peak period of Fall 2021, which will last approximately from October 11 through October 29. We thank you for your patience.

In-Person Appointments at 156 Dwinelle Hall

As L&S Advising introduces a soft roll-out of our hybrid advising system, in-person appointments are limited.

If you wish to schedule with a specific adviser, you are able to do so through a Virtual Appointment only. 

Requirements for In-Person Appointments

  • Arrive at 156 Dwinelle and check in via the Virtual Front Desk (VFD) at least 5 minutes prior to the start of your appointment. If you are late to check-in, your appointment time cannot be extended. 
  • Bring and wear your own mask throughout the duration of your appointment. 
  • Guests (family, friends, visitors) will be asked to join the appointment virtually. Only those covered by UC Policy (such as UC Berkeley students) will be admitted into 156 Dwinelle.
  • The VFD will ask you a series of screening questions and alert the adviser that you have arrived. Please have your ID out and wait until the Adviser admits you into 156 Dwinelle.
  • When the adviser admits you into 156 Dwinelle, you will be asked to sanitize your hands.
  • Please note that students who are not wearing a mask or who cannot complete the screening questions will be asked to reschedule or hold a virtual appointment.

Do not come to an in-person appointment if you are feeling ill, have received a positive COVID test, or have had contact with someone with COVID within the previous 10 days.

Instead, contact the Virtual Front Desk to have your appointment switched to a virtual format or reschedule.
