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.

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.
