Advising Office

Help is here when you need it. Staff and peer advisors are available to assist students individually with academic planning, course selection, career exploration, and other matters related to the major and staying on course toward graduation.

ANT Advising Appointments 

Students can schedule an advising appointment with an ANT staff advisor through the OASIS appointment system.

Schedule an Appointment

All current students, regardless of declared major, are able to use OASIS to make appointments for Anthropology advising. 

If you are a student who has not been active at UC Davis for more than a year and therefore don't have access to OASIS, please email socantadvisor@ucdavis.edu to schedule an appointment.
