Academic Advising Drop-In Hours
We’re here when you need us.
Drop-in advising offers same-day help for quick questions. No appointment is needed.

Major Advising focuses on your specific program. This includes learning plans, major requirements, course selection, prerequisites, course sequencing, and staying on track for graduation.

Schedule an advising appointment for detailed planning and graduation review. Before your meeting, check the My Learning Plan degree planner and review your Academic Requirements Report.
