How to Meet with a Data Science Advisor

Current students may schedule a 30-minute advising appointment with a Data Science Major Advisor.

Advising appointments become available each weekday, up to 1 week in advance. If you don't see any appointments available, please try again the following day or come to our virtual drop-in advising hours instead (schedule below).

Book Virtual

For virtual appointments, you will receive an email confirmation with a Zoom link.

Book In Person

In-person appointments take place in Warren Hall, Suite 130.

Drop-in advising is available during the Fall and Spring semesters from Week 1 through RRR Week, and during Summer Session. Drop-in advising is not available during Finals week or during breaks between terms.

How to Join Staff Drop-in Hours:

Staff drop-in advising is online only via Zoom or Google Meet.

  1. Sign In to join the waiting list during drop-in hours. This link is only active during drop-in hours as listed in the schedule above.
  2. View Queue to check your position.
  3. Check your email for a link to join your advising session. When your name reaches the top of the queue, this means that you will be next. Make sure to have your UC Berkeley email account open. As soon as an advisor is available, you will receive an email from a Data Science Advisor with a link to join your online session and your name will disappear from the queue around the same time. Join your advising session within 5 minutes of receiving the email.

Sign-ins may end early if the waiting list is already too long for advisors to see all waiting students.

Peer Advising is not available in the summer. Please check back beginning Week 2 in Fall semester for Peer Advisor availability.
