Spring 2020 Drop-In Advising

In order to assist students who may have URGENT advising questions that affect their spring 2020 course enrollment, the advisors will be holding drop-in advising hours the first two weeks of classes.

Times and days are listed below. You may go to whichever time suits you, regardless of your last name/usual advisor. During that time window, students will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis, and with attention to the time-sensitivity of their questions.

We know that many students are eager to meet with an advisor after the break, but if you have questions or requests that do not affect your spring 2020 enrollment, we ask that you let us prioritize students with more pressing issues. Regular one-on-one advising will begin starting the week of February 3.

DROP-IN ADVISING HOURS FOR URGENT MATTERS:

  • Tuesday, January 21 12:30-1:45pm in SPA 245
  • Wednesday, January 22 2:00-3:15pm in SPA 245
  • Thursday, January 23 9:30-10:45am & 3:30-4:45pm in SPA 227
  • Monday, January 27 12:30-1:45pm in SPA 245
