Summer Family & Friends Gathering Summer 2024

Academic 

  • College Core Courses?
  • If you are a Junior Transfer student and want to meet with an Advisor?
    • stevensonadvising@ucsc.edu
    • cowell@ucsc.edu
  • Requirements to be a Full time student?
    • To be a full time student, a student has to be enrolled in at least 12 units (a standard class is 5 units, so that would be two 5 unit classes and one 2 unit). The norm is to take three 5 unit classes each quarter. That is a university-wide requirement. Each department has requirements for how many classes a student will have to take over their career (and in which order) in order to complete the major. Some majors have fewer required classes than others. Some have many, many more.

Advising 

  • How do students connect with an academic advisor?
    • Students can email their respective college advising with general questions.
    • For specific questions should be directed to appropriate units, such as department financial aid, ….
    • Students can schedule appointments via Slug Success for college and department advising. However, unless critical or urgent, we ask new students to wait until the fall quarter begins to schedule appointments.
  • Is there an advisor for student athletes?
    • UCSC does not have academic advisors at the colleges, especially for student athletes.
  • With class scheduling online (and finished), how can our students talk to a live person to resolve scheduling conflicts and full lab sections?
    • If a course, lab, or section is full, students can not enroll. However, they can waitlist for the appropriate course.
  • Are there academic counselors who can help plan courses?
    • College advising works with students on general planning, whereas their major advising works on specific major planning.
  • Could parents meet with our son's counselor to better understand what is expected from our son to reach his goal? How do we make this happen?

 Activities

  • Are there water filling stations near the dorms or do students buy water?
