CNAS Academic Advising

 


Welcome back to the blog, Highlanders!


    We hope that you all are going strong into Week 4! In this week's edition of the blog, you will have the opportunity to learn more about UCR's Academic Advising and its resources that are made for you.


  • What's the UCR Undergraduate Academic Advising Center (UAAC)?
            The UCR UAAC is the place where you need any help concerning classes, registration, or curriculum at UCR. Its the office where all academic advisors can be found! One of the UAAC's top priorities is helping students navigate their career at UCR.

  • What specific resources does it offer?
            Meeting with an academic advisor through the UAAC can allow you to obtain:
    • Career advising
    • Quarter/1 yr/4 yr course plan
    • Changing majors
    • SN/C a course
    • And much more!
  • How do I book an advisor appointment?
            You can book an appointment with your assigned advisor through the UCR Advisor Trac at myadvising.ucr.edu. Meetings vary from around 20-40 minutes on Zoom.

  • What is a Term Plan?
            A term plan is a planned schedule each student must complete on R'Web before registering for a quarter. It is usually the schedule that each student refers to on registration day. It can be found under the 'Schedule' tab in R'Web, or you can visit your academic counselor to help craft your own.

  • Where can I find scholarship opportunities?
           Check https://ucr.academicworks.com/ for a list of scholarship opportunities given to all grade levels.

           Also, there are CNAS-exclusive scholarships available until October 31st that can be found at https://cnas.ucr.edu/cnas-scholarships where you can find various scholarships relating to research, specific majors, and much more.

Highlanders, welcome back to the CNAS Scholars blog ! I hope midterm session has treated everyone well. In this week's edition of the blog, we will be discussing a very important series of programs known as First-Gen Initiatives and what resources are available to any undergraduate students interested.  The term "first-gen" describes a student who is first in their family to study in a four-year institution.
