ZotChat

Welcome to Graduate and Professional Studies ZotChat!


ZotChat Guidelines:

To meet and address our students’ needs, we are happy to introduce ZotChat, an online live chat between you and the GPS Staff! We are here to answer general advising-related questions any time that the “Advisor Available Now!” button is active. If you need to reach us when the “Advisor Offline” button is showing, you can email gradengr@uci.edu.

Please note: ZotChat is intended for quick questions only. If you need specific or detailed advising with GPS Staff, you should request an appointment via Zoom by emailing gradengr@uci.edu or scheduling one through the UCI appointment system.
