Advising

As Academic Advisors for the Institute for Society and Genetics, Frenz Cabison and Elena Allen oversee the Human Biology and Society majors (BA and BS) and Society and Genetics minor. They can be contacted via isgacademics@g.ucla.edu. There are two types of advising that our advisors offer: drop-in advising and 20-minute advising sessions. Please note that both drop-in advising and 20-minute advising sessions are only available to current undergraduate students.

For prospective applicants and newly admitted students, please email your inquiries to isgacademics@g.ucla.edu.

    • Beginning Week 1 (Tuesday, April 1st) up until Week 10 (Thursday, June 5th)
    • No drop-ins during Finals Week. In addition, there will be no drop-in session on April 17th.

20-minute advising sessions (for current undergraduates only)

Current undergraduate students can sign up for 20-minute appointments via calendly.com/isg_frenz and calendly.com/isg_elena.  Spots will be added to the Calendly on Monday of the prior week (e.g., spots for Week 5 will be added on Week 4 Monday). During the regular academic year, it is highly recommended that you sign up for an appointment early in the quarter. Appointments are limited and can fill up quickly, especially during peak weeks (e.g., enrollment season).
