Drop-in Advising Information
- Drop-in Guidelines
Virtual Drop-in Advising is offered during the add/drop period (first 2 weeks of the fall and spring semesters) and during enrollment periods (in April and November). If it is not a drop-in day, please check our other available Advising Services.
- We use Microsoft Teams for virtual Drop-in Advising sessions. See "How to Sign-in" to get started.
- No appointment is necessary.
- Students are seen 1:1 on a first-come, first-served basis, by major.
- Due to high volume, it may be necessary to close Drop-in Advising early.
- During enrollment periods, we recommend students attend a drop-in date as close to their assigned enrollment date as possible.
- The first week of drop-ins is usually our busiest.
- Drop-in hours are subject to change.
- Sessions generally last up to 15 minutes (students interested in a longer meeting with an academic advisor should schedule an appointment).
