Our Mission
The mission of the Economics Student Services Department is to advise students holistically by providing a high standard of service in a supportive and collaborative environment. Undergraduate and peer advisors work as a team to provide accurate information to students in a timely manner. We partner with faculty to assist students in engaging with the campus and the global economics community. We value fairness, diversity, and the important roles our students, faculty, and staff in the Department of Economics play at the University of California, Berkeley.
Connect with our advisors virtually at the following links:

Drop-in Advising with Economics Advisors
NOTE: In order to attend a zoom meeting offered through UC Berkeley you must be logged in to zoom with your UC Berkeley account (not your personal gmail). Instructions on how to log in to zoom as a UC Berkeley student can be found here.
While most advising questions can be addressed on a drop-in basis, some topics may require an appointment. Depending on the advising need, advisors may ask students to schedule a follow-up appointment if the question cannot be addressed during drop-in hours.
*CHECK IN FORM* Please use the link to check in; you will then be directed to the Zoom room after confirmation. You may only access the form by using your berkeley.edu email address.
*Subject to availability. All times listed as Pacific Standard Time (PST). Please scan the QR code in the office upon arrival to check-in for in-person drop advising.
