Failure to meet your Annual Advising Requirement by the end of the Winter quarter will result in a Fall 2025 registration hold. 

NOTE: This will prevent Fall and Summer enrollment.

To meet your annual advising requirement you must:
 

STEP 1: 

Submit MAE Advising Contract by the end of week 1 of the Fall quarter (if already submitted, do not re-submit) : Advising Contract

Complete one of the following: 

  • Attend a virtual advising workshop
  • This is a group advising workshop for each class level.  All dates/times are listed on the box to the right -->
    Please ensure you arrive on time as these are quick 15-20min workshops. Attendance for the entire workshop is required to receive credit. 
  • Schedule an advising appointment
  • Visit: http://appointments.ucdavis.edu/ 

    Prior to your appointment, make sure you update your academic plan and hit "SAVE". Prepare for your appointment by having questions ready. 

    :: Appointment policies :: 
    - Students have a grace period of 5-minutes from the start of their appointment. Showing up more than 5-mins late will mark you as a no-show and you will need to reschedule.
    - Not showing to your appointment will block you for rescheduling within the next 5 days. 

    We understand your schedule can change, if you are unable to make your scheduled appointment, please cancel it to allow other MAE students to utilize that appointment slot.
