Advising: During Cal Week events Engineering Student Services (ESS) advisers are available to answer questions from incoming students. Outside of those events, however, ESS advisers are not available to advise incoming students via email or appointments until students have accepted their offer of admission and completed Golden Bear Advising. Admitted students are welcome to reach out to department advisers or the ESS peer advisers if they have questions.

FAQs: Read through our Q&As from last year’s Cal Week, then join us during this year’s Cal Week to ask your own questions, meet current students and faculty, and learn more about Berkeley Engineering.
