Advising Appointments

The Office of Academic Advising provides virtual, phone and in-person Academic Advising Appointments to our matriculated undergraduate students.

No advising appointments will be available April 29-May 10.

Instead, we will be offering Drop-in Advising so we can serve even more students. Drop-ins are 15 minute, 1:1 sessions for schedule verification/issues and enrollment questions.

 

New Students (Admitted Fall 2024)
Academic Advising services for new students who have been admitted to the Fall 2024 semester will begin in June 2024. Please continue to check your email for more details.

Schedule an Appointment

Please be aware that not all appointment types (in-person, virtual, phone call) are offered everyday. If you are unable to find open appointment times, you may want to change the mode of service in your search.

  • Canceling Appointments

    If you must cancel your appointment, please do so before your scheduled appointment time.

  • No Show Policy

    In an effort to be fair and equitable to all students, the Office of Academic Advising enforces a “no-show” policy. This policy is not designed as a punishment; rather, it serves as a reminder to be respectful of fellow students’ time.

    • Please be courteous to other students by cancelling your appointment if you are unable to attend.
    • Please arrive on time. Students who arrive more than 15 minutes after their scheduled appointment will be asked to reschedule and will be recorded as a “no-show”.
    • Students who "no show" or do not cancel their appointment on two occasions forfeit their right to schedule further advising appointments for a 60-day period.
