Welcome to Rachel Carson College Advising!
Welcome to Rachel Carson College!
The Rachel Carson College advising team is here to guide students from the time of their acceptance to UCSC through graduation. By developing effective, collaborative advising relationships, we help students identify and explore their academic interests and capabilities. We are available to answer questions about scheduling classes, degree requirements, qualifying for a major, and educational support and opportunities. We hope to empower our students to make the most of their time at UCSC.
We invite you to come to see us whenever you need help, have a question, or don't know where to go for your particular concern. We are here for you!
* Students can request stickers at the Rachel Carson Housing Office Mon-Fri 9-12 pm & 1-4 pm and REMEMBER wear a mask!*
