Academic Advising - Appointments

Drop-in Advising times are focused on immediate needs and for issues that can be addressed in less than 10 minutes. 

Reasons you might use Drop-in Advising could include:

• Questions about assessment scores and classes.

• Scheduling for next semester or current semester – get access code.

• Initial questions about add/drop/withdrawal

Drop-in Advising Hours are from 9:00 am – 1:45 pm Monday through Friday with extended times during registration. Hours may vary depending on staffing availability, especially during the summer. 

Students with specific questions may be asked to return for a scheduled appointment or referred to a faculty advisor.

Some situations will require a longer appointment where an advisor can prepare the information necessary to meet your needs. 

Reasons for scheduled appointments could include, but are not limited to:

• Long-term education plans

• Personal issues

• Transfer planning and lengthy unofficial transcript evaluations

• Major exploration

• Appeal questions

• Academic performance concerns

Appointments are available 8:00 am – 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. Students are encouraged to schedule appointments at least 24 hours in advance.

Students who are late for their scheduled appointment, may have to reschedule for another day.
