Masks are still strongly recommended by our public health officials and by UC Davis for vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The university supports those who wish to continue to mask indoors, including those who are immunocompromised or otherwise concerned.

Advising for Your Major

Individual departments have undergraduate major advisors separate from the dean’s office, to assist students with the unique requirements and academic plans for their specific majors. To find your major advisor and schedule an appointment, log onto the Advising Appointment System and select your department. Alternatively, you can visit the department’s website and search for the undergraduate advisor(s).

Many departments will also offer peer advising and drop-in appointments. We encourage you to follow up with your major department for more information.
