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.
Important Notice: Continuing student enrollment for Fall Quarter 2026 is being moved to mid-July 2026 to allow for the implementation of the new Triton Student System. For full details about the enrollment timeline adjustment, please refer to the initial campus notice.
Please also note that for Fall 2026, we are not offering long-term quarter-by-quarter planning appointments. These will resume in Winter 2027.
Virtual Advising Center (VAC)
Current students: The VAC is the best way to contact an advisor for quick questions, such as: degree audit issues, course booking 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.
