DHC Advising at Summer Orientation

Every incoming UC Davis student is expected to attend Summer Orientation. The Summer Orientation Program is very important for DHC students, because you will attend a special Davis Honors Challenge advising session and sign up for your Fall quarter DHC course.

At the DHC Summer Orientation Session you can expect the following:

  • Explanation of DHC academic requirements & how courses fit into your academic plan
  • Overview of DHC benefits & perks
  • Selection of your Fall quarter DHC course
  • Assistance with your Fall quarter class schedule
  • Opportunity to meet DHC counselors and other new DHC students
  • Your many questions answered

When you arrive at Summer Orientation, you will receive a schedule of sessions divided by day. All DHC students will meet with DHC Counselors on the Third Day of Summer Orientation at 8:00 am (sharp) in the Kearney Hall First-Floor Study Lounge. This information will be listed on your schedule.

The week before you are scheduled to attend Summer Orientation, you will receive a reminder email with detailed information about the DHC session. We recommend that you review our web site before you come to Summer Orientation, so that you are familiar with the DHC course and program information.

Note: If you are participating the STEP program, you will meet with DHC Counselors on a different day. Please check back when it gets closer to see when.

What if you can't attend Summer Orientation?
If you are unable to attend Summer Orientation, DHC staff are available to assist you! Please contact a DHC Counselor before your scheduled registration appointment to sign up for your DHC course and receive advising assistance regarding your fall schedule. You will not be able to sign up for DHC courses without receiving advising from our staff.
