Peer Advisors

Advising

Welcome to the Nutrition Advising Center! We provide academic advising for our undergraduate majors/minors and can review course requirements, develop academic plans, and more. Our center is located in 3202 Meyer Hall and open Monday through Friday, 9am-4pm. Please be aware that the center is closed during university holidays. 

Advising services are provided by two Staff Advisors and a team of Peer Advisors. Staff Advisors are full-time professional staff and are available by appointment only. Peer Advisors are students in the department and are available for drop-in advising during center hours. 

Current UC Davis undergraduate nutrition students can make remote and in-person appointments with a Staff Advisor or Peer Advisor using the Appointment System. Students in other majors who are interested in pursuing a major or minor in our department should email the advising center (nutritionadvising@ucdavis.edu) to speak with an advisor.
