BASC Office Temporarily Closed — All Advising Services Virtual

Due to a scheduled remodel, our physical location will be closed until winter quarter. Our team will continue to provide all services virtually to ensure uninterrupted support of our students. You can connect with us through virtual advising appointments, virtual express advising, and email at cbsundergrads@ucdavis.edu.

First-Year Academic Plan Requirement

All first year CBS students are required to complete the First-Year Academic Plan. All students will receive email communication with more details during the beginning of the fall quarter.

The purpose of the First-Year Academic Plan is to give students the opportunity to learn more about academic expectations, degree requirements, supportive resources, and how to build an academic plan. 

The first-year academic plan must be completed by the end of November. Students who do not complete will have a hold on their record that prevents Winter Pass 2 registration. Express Advising will not satisfy the MA requirement. 

You have two options to complete this requirement:

Option 1: Canvas

Option 2: Virtual Workshop

  • Complete the First Year Academic Planning Module, located in the same Canvas Course used for Aggie Advising
  • You can complete the module on your own at any time of day!
  • Be sure to complete all pages of the module, including the Learning Check quiz and save a 1-year academic plan via OASIS. 
  • Attend a Virtual Workshop, where BASC Advisors will guide you on how to build your academic plan
  • Interactive and live Q+A
  • During the workshop, you will be completing the Learning Check quiz and save a 1-year academic plan via OASIS.
  • Sign-ups will be available on this page
