Advising Notes


  1. During the Add/Drop period of their first semester, students are required to attend a department undergraduate orientation session. Alternatively, they are required to meet with the department chair. In either case, they will be assisted in selecting an appropriate faculty advisor.
  2. Students meet with their academic advisors prior to registration each fall semester.
  3. General Education courses designated as required by the department are prerequisites to many courses in the program of study.
  4. CR/NC grading is not permitted for courses included in the major except for VIT 194I .
  5. Upper-division G.E. courses (i.e., 100-level course) should not be attempted prior to the semester in which 60 units toward the degree have been completed.
  6. The upper-division writing skills requirement can be met by taking a 3- to 4-unit W course (e.g., PLANT 110W ) and pass a grade of C or higher.
  7. Viticulture students are encouraged to become certified crop scientists/specialists and pest control advisors (PCAs). Students should consult their faculty advisor for additional requirements for certification.
  8. All courses listed under the major and additional requirements require a grade of C or better.
