Academic Advising

Jacobs School students can take advantage of an array of advising resources to help achieve their academic goals. Students are encouraged to consult with their advisors beginning at orientation and throughout their undergraduate careers.

Engineering Department Advising

Helps students with engineering major requirements and curriculum planning, petitions, regulations, degree checks, etc. Staff advisors can also refer students to faculty for advice on engineering specialization, technical electives and career options.

You can reach your engineering major department and college advisor through the Virtual Advising Center(VAC) at vac.ucsd.edu
