Advising At Porter College

From the time you are admitted to the University until the time you are ready to graduate, Porter College advising staff are available to help you achieve your academic goals, to discuss policies and requirements, and to refer you to support services, as you need them. Porter advisers may also be helpful in alerting you to enriching opportunities at UCSC, such as interesting classes, internships, career planning workshops, etc. It is suggested that you meet with an advisor regularly to review your progress. During your first year, you should plan to see an adviser at least once per quarter.

Academic Preceptors Lupe Allen and Bob Giges are available to assist you in deciding on a major program, to help you maneuver through the system, or to discuss nearly any academic concern (one exception: you should see department advisers for information about major requirements). Homayun Etemadi, College Academic Adviser, is also available to assist you with major exploration, course selection, and academic planning, often on a drop-in basis.

You may arrange to see any of the advising staff by calling the receptionist at 831-459-2273 or by coming in to the College Office to set up an appointment.
