More information will be shared in the month of August
Your BAC academic advisor will be an important resource and primary contact for you throughout your first year.
After fall semester classes begin, meet with your BAC academic advisor at least once each semester.
You will have the chance to discuss your academic history (college courses or AP/IB exams already completed), choice of major and career, GE requirements, academic and co-curricular activities that support your goals, summer plans, intended graduation date, and much more.
We look forward to meeting you and helping you throughout your first year at UC Merced!
