Step 5: Connect with an Advisor (Recommended)
This is your opportunity to speak with your academic advisor one-on-one and ask specific questions about your academic record, discuss goals, and plan your schedule for fall quarter and beyond (for transfer students only).
Step 6: Register for Courses (Required)
After you’ve planned out your first quarter, you should have everything you need to register for classes. All students will register for courses using Schedule Builder during their assigned pass time. We are offering Major Advising Registration Support during your registration pass times.
Before you register, you can begin searching and saving courses to start building your schedule. Add classes and use the “Calendar View” to see your daily/weekly/monthly schedule at a glance. Save multiple schedules and compare to find the best fit. Be sure to read the “Important Details” to view course notes, descriptions, prerequisites, and much more.
Step 7: Attend Aggie Orientation (Required)
Get excited about being an Aggie! Sign up for Aggie Orientation. This five-day program is your opportunity to start building community networks of support, find resources, and begin your life on campus.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
We’ve included some resources to help you transition during your first quarter at UC Davis.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Review your CANVAS Pages for Recommended First Quarter Courses
- Take a look at a 2 Year Sample Academic Plan
- Find 2-3 non-major courses that you would be interested in taking in Fall Quarter alongside your 1-2 History major courses.
- It is not recommended to take more than 2 History courses per quarter, or take a History Seminar (HIS 102 series) during your first quarter.
- Click on this diagram to help you identify courses of interest outside of your major.
- History courses do not have prerequisites, but remember to check prerequisites to make sure you’re eligible for the courses you are interested in.
- Review the resources for new students from the College of Letters and Science. Our Advising Center will assist you with your major requirements and the College will assist you with your general education and college/university requirements. Throughout your career at UC Davis, you will work with both of these offices for academic advising. We always encourage you to check in with the College of Letters and Science Undergraduate Education and Advising Office regarding requirements outside of the major: https://lettersandscience.ucdavis.edu/advising.
