Schedule An Advising Appointment

New and Continuing Students: Go to the Advising Appointment System (AAS) to schedule an in-depth 30-minute appointment with the BFTV Advising Center and select the "Food Science" option. Note that appointment slots can fill up quickly during peak advising times (i.e. course registration, first week of instruction, and the last week of instruction). We recommend that students monitor the AAS daily for new time slots.

Prospective Students: To request a meeting with a staff advisor, contact the BFTV Advising Office at bftvadvising@ucdavis.edu. Please include your contact information, availability, and reason for meeting.
