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. 

Remote Advising Appointments

Advising appointments should be used to discuss more in-depth questions, such as:

  • Long-term quarter-by-quarter plan
  • Career and M.Ed/credential exploration
  • Readmission and SAP Appeal Forms
  • Academic Probation/Disqualification Concerns
  • Questions and referrals to other campus resources

If you would like to schedule an advising appointment with an EDS advisor, please email edstudies@ucsd.edu with the following:

  • Your year
  • Major or minor
  • Advising questions
Advisors will work with students to schedule a Zoom meeting during a time when they and the student are both available.
