Biological Systems Engineering Advising

The EBS Advising team will be offering virtual drop-in advising, appointments, workshops, and other events. Please see the details and schedule below for more information on advising services. 


Drop-in Advising:

Drop-ins are for quick & general questions regarding their academic schedules, major requirements and questions about campus resources, and change of major. Drop-ins will not count towards meeting your advising requirement and are offered on a one-on-one, first-come, first-serve basis. If your question requires a meeting with a staff (major) advisor, you may be referred to appointment with a staff advisor. For students interested in adding our major, please review our criteria and instructions at https://bae.ucdavis.edu/undergraduate/undergraduate-changing-majors prior to attending drop-in advising.

Scheduled Advising Appointments:

Scheduled advising appointments are reserved for EBS students who have to meet with the EBS Advisor to clear their Annual Mandatory Advising Hold. Students will be able to schedule appointments to clear their holds only in the quarter their hold is assigned. Advising will contact students at the start of the quarter in which their hold is assigned to notify them that they need to schedule a mandatory advising hold appointment.

To make an appointment, visit the UC Davis Advising Appointment System and search for Biological Systems Engineering from the drop-down menu. Select Biological and Agricultural Engineering, then select Undergraduate Advising - Staff to access the calendar and schedule your appointment.

If you are unable to schedule an appointment, please attend drop-in advising hours listed above. Alternatively, you can seek support from the College of Engineering advising office: https://engineering.ucdavis.edu/undergraduates/academic-advising.
