About Drop-ins:

  • At this time, drop-ins are operating 100% virtually.
  • Students are seen 1:1 on a first-come, first-served basis, by major.
  • Due to high volume, it may be necessary to close Drop-in Advising early.
  • Drop-in hours are subject to change.
  • Sessions generally last up to 15 minutes (students interested in a longer meeting with an academic advisor should schedule an appointment).
