ADVISING RESOURCES

Happy Spring Break, Crownies!

Spring quarter instruction begins on Monday, March 31st.

Staffing updates:

Dan is back from paternity leave, and Kristyn gets back the first week of spring quarter from maternity leave. So Crown Advising will be fully staffed again, yay! Thank you to Monica Baker and Winnie Tang who helped out while they were both out of office!

Spring Break Advising Schedule

Crown Advising will be available remote only starting Monday, March 24th through Thursday, March 27th (spring break). You can still email us here at CrownAdvising@ucsc.edu and schedule with us via Slug Success.
Crown Peer Advisors will be available in person and online during finals week, but will not be around during spring break.
Friday 3/28 is Cesar Chavez Holiday (all staff will be out of office, UCSC is closed)

Advising for SPRING 2025

During the first week of Spring quarter we will be only offering 15 minute “express appointments” (March 31-April 4) to be able to help as many students as possible.
- You can schedule an advising appointment through Slug Success starting Monday morning.
- If you are hoping to do more in-depth planning, please wait until Week 2 to meet with an advisor.
30 minute appointments will resume on Monday, April 7th.
Peer Advisors are available via Google Hangouts, email (CrownPA@ucsc.edu), and in person from 9am-5pm. Here’s how to chat a Peer Advisor!
As usual, the first two days of the quarter (3/31-4/1), the Advisors and Peer Advisors will outside to help you with directions, academic advice, and bus stickers. Feel free to stop by in Crown Plaza any time from 10am to 3pm.

Dates and deadlines for Spring quarter:

Permission Codes will be needed to enroll in classes beginning April 9th
Add/Drop/Swap Deadline and Part-Time Deadline are April 18th
Declaration deadline is April 25th – If you have the correct courses to declare, please be sure to complete the declaration process for your major. This is incredibly important and can have major consequences if you don’t complete the process!
Registration for Summer begins on May 1st

Advising information now on Instagram!

In an effort to better serve you, the Crown Peer Advisors are partnering with the Crown Programs Office to post academic updates, deadlines, all the important advising things to the Crown College Instagram. If you haven’t already followed them, now is a great time to do it. 🙂

As always, please reach out to us if you have any questions at all. We wish you the best on your finals!
