We will be conducting advising appointments virtually every Monday through Friday and in-person every Monday through Thursday. Virtual advising appointments will be conducted via Zoom and in-person appointments in the Office of Student Success and Engagement on the 2^nd floor of the Quinn Building.  Use the “schedule an appointment” link to meet with your academic advisor.

During add/drop (September 7^th-September 14^th), an Academic Advisor will be available on a walk-in basis Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Quinn Building on the 2^nd floor. You can also still make an appointment for a virtual or in-person meeting during this time.

If you book a virtual appointment, then you will be automatically emailed the Zoom link. You will not be able to switch a virtual appointment to in-person unless you cancel your appointment and book a new one. If you schedule an in-person appointment and you need to change it to a virtual appointment, then you must email your advisor as soon as possible so that they can send you the Zoom link.
