Connecting with advisors
Join our advisor chat as your first stop for all undergraduate advising questions.
Connect to Baskin Engineering advising during our open hours by adding (+) bsoepa@ucsc.edu to your Google Chat, (using your @ucsc email address) and sending a message through the chat. Find the chat function on the bottom left of your Gmail screen. All drop-in requests start with the Google Chat and we will connect students with staff Zoom drop-in as needed.
