• Visit the undergraduate advising website for information on courses and enrollment, academic planning, degree requirements and more. 
• The VAC will also continue to be available for you to submit your questions.

Online advising available Monday through Friday via the Virtual Advising Center (VAC). Most questions can be answered there; however, advisors are open to Zoom meetings when necessary. Advisors will work with students to schedule a Zoom meeting during a time when they and the student are both available. 

The Department does not provide academic advising over the telephone or e-mail. If you are not yet a student at UCSD, please send an e-mail to askpolisci@ucsd.edu. Current students who e-mail or call with advising questions will be directed to the VAC or drop-in advising hours.
