During our open office hours, students are welcome to visit our office and speak with one of our Troubadours (Peer Counselors) or an Advisor.

If you are hoping to speak with the advisor for your major program, please note that they may not be available at the time you visit our office. If they are not available, please feel free to schedule a meeting with them when they are next available.

 

Schedule a Meeting

Schedule a meeting with your program advisor. Scheduled meetings are ideal for answering questions about:

  • Degree Planning, such as adding a degree program, studying abroad, and time to degree concerns
  • Academic, personal, and professional support, through referrals to campus resources
  • Complex situations and scenarios, that are better discussed face-to-face than over email

Please refer to the scheduling page for the advisor you want to meet with.
