ACADEMIC ADVISING

Effective October 3, 2022, the EEB Undergraduate Office will be offering appointments both in-person and via Zoom. You will designate your preference when you schedule your advising appointment.

To protect the health and safety of the UCLA Community, the EEB Undergraduate Office is requiring students to follow the UCLA COVID-19 guidelines before visiting the office.

Please be aware that we are no longer offering drop-in advising. Academic advising/counseling services are available in-person and virtually, but students must make a scheduled appointment via MyUCLA. All appointments will be in 20-minute increments and conducted depending on your preference and availability.

To make a departmental advising appointment, please CLICK HERE.

*Please select the “EEB-Departmental Advising” options ONLY. EEB Grad counseling is limited for M.S. and PhD students only.*

EEB Undergraduate counselors will be available for appointments during the following hours:

Monday – Friday:
