Welcome, UCR students! When it comes to academic support, it's essential to know who to meet.

To find your assigned advisor, you have two options: check your Student Profile on Rweb or visit your CNAS Major page. Learn more about meeting your assigned advisor here.

The CNAS Undergraduate Advising Center offers two convenient options for student advising appointments: a 10-minute and 20-minute appointment option, both available in virtual and in-person formats. Academic Advising appointments are the preferred method of discussing academic questions or concerns with your advisor.
