Student Advising (Year 1)
The Bobcat Advising Center (BAC) will be the primary advising center for all first year SJV PRIME+ students. A dedicated BAC Academic Advisor will be available to meet with students in the Summer before matriculation and throughout their first year at UC Merced. The BAC will share specific dates and hours of availability with students through email and on their website.
Academic Advising (Year 2-4)
Upon the completion of their first year, the BAC will transition students to the Academic Advising office for their declared major in their corresponding school. Each student will be assigned an Academic Advisor to continue the work of course selection, schedule building, completion of major requirements, graduation planning, and other related services. Additionally, Academic Advisors will collaborate closely with the Department of Medical Education (DOME) to ensure students are progressing through PRIME+ and major requirements in a timely manner.
