(Available starting Jan 31*) In-Person Appointments at 156 Dwinelle Hall 

*This date is subject to change as we monitor public health guidelines.

As L&S Advising introduces a 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.
