Drop-In Advising

Drop-In Advising for Psychology, Philosophy, Cognitive Science, Science & Technology Studies

Drop-in Advising is managed by both peer advisors and staff advisors. Here's what you can expect:

  • Drop-ins are meant to be brief (15 minutes)
  • Expect longer wait times during week 1, and during Pass 1 and Pass 2 registration.
  • If joining virtual drop-ins, you can view where you are in the queue when you sign into the Virtual Front Desk. If joining in person drop-in, you can view the waitlist when you check-in.
  • The drop-in schedule is subject to change; please check before arriving.
  • We will be unable to see students who come to drop-ins less than 15 minutes before closing time.
  • Unfortunately, the Virtual Front Desk only allows current students to sign in. If you are not a current student, please email us at ycadvising@ucdavis.edu for support.

Virtual Drop-In Advising

Join our Virtual Front Desk here: https://yellowcluster.advisingfrontdesk.lsit.ucdavis.edu/signin

How to Join Virtual Drop-In Advising

  • If it's your first time joining, you may need to click "Allow" on the UC Davis Authorization page that comes up.
  • Click the link above, fill out a brief description of your questions, and an advisor will invite you to their Zoom room shortly.
  • Click the "Speak with advisor" link in the Virtual Front Desk to get connected to your advisor's Zoom room.

When you come into drop-ins, an appointment will be made for you in OASIS, but it may not reflect the day or time you came in. This appointment serves as a placeholder that you came into drop-in advising. Please do not cancel this appointment or visit Zoom again at the time of the appointment listed; this is simply a record that you came into our drop-in advising that day.

Trouble connecting? Email us at ycadvising@ucdavis.edu (regardless of declared major).
Unfortunately, the Virtual Front Desk only works for active UC Davis students. If you are not an active student, please email us at ycadvising@ucdavis.edu for support. 

In-Person Drop-In Advising

Come to our new location, the Blue Ridge Building: https://yellowcluster.ucdavis.edu/undergraduate/new-location. For a larger map, use the UC Davis interactive campus map. 

When you arrive, someone at the front desk will help you sign up for in-person drop-in advising.
