Golden Bear Advising is mandatory and covers campus academic resources and an introduction to your college and includes:

  • communication with your Academic Adviser
  • an overview of academic resources
  • graduation requirements

You’ll be invited through a task in CalCentral to complete this online portion of your Golden Bear Experience. Your Golden Bear Advising task on CalCentral is updated manually by your individual college. Please allow up to five business days once you have completed all quizzes, discussions, and/or assignments for your task to be marked as complete. Still see the task as incomplete? Verify that your adviser hasn’t reached out to you for additional information and then contact your college adviser directly, through your Berkeley email or through the Golden Bear Advising module. 

Important Note: You must complete Golden Bear Advising in order to connect with your Academic Adviser and to enroll in classes.
