Schedule an Advising Appointment
Advising appointments are one-on-one meetings with an academic advisor and are the perfect venue to meet with an advisor to discuss degree planning, graduation pathway mapping, or complex questions and situations.
Advising appointments are 30-45 minutes in duration and are scheduled in advance. Due to the demand for academic advising appointments, and their one-on-one nature, it is common for appointments to be booked up to one week in advance.
