Education Studies Undergraduate Advising
EDS advisors are here to help you! Advisors can help with switching into the major or adding a minor, degree audits, reviewing academic plans, academic policies & procedures and discussing educational and career goals.
Note that if you have just a few questions, the Virtual Advising Center (VAC) is the best option for UCSD students. You will get answers within 1 day for most questions.
Virtual Advising Center (VAC)
Current students: The VAC is the best way to contact an advisor for quick questions, such as: degree audit issues, enrollment questions, degree checks, short term planning and general check-ins for academic progress. The VAC can be accessed through My TritonLink. Please do not email us advising questions. We do not provide advising via email.
