Office of Academic Advising

Virtual Drop-in Advising

The Office of Academic Advising offers Virtual Drop-in Advising to our matriculated undergraduate students for 1:1 academic advising on general degree requirement information, schedule verification or issues, registration questions, etc. 

Virtual Drop-in Advising is offered during the add/drop (first 2 weeks of the fall and spring semesters) and during enrollment periods (in April and November). If it is not a drop-in day, please check out the other Advising Services we have available.

Important
CURRENT STUDENTS: We are currently advising our newly admitted students during Drop-in Hours. Please utilize our other advising services at this time.

NEW STUDENTS: In order to limit student wait times, please only sign in for drop-ins after you have completed this entire Enrollment Tutorial.

About Drop-ins:

  • We use Microsoft Teams for Drop-in Advising! See "How to Sign-in" to get started.
  • No appointment is necessary. 
  • Students are seen 1:1 on a first-come, first-served basis, by major.
  • Due to high volume, it may be necessary to close Virtual Drop-in Advising early.
  • Virtual 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).

How to Sign-in:

  1. View instructions (pdf) on how to access Microsoft Teams.
  2. In the Virtual Front Desk, click on the Sign-in Sheet tab at the top of the page to check-in (sign-in sheet)
    (The Sign-in Sheet will be live one hour before each drop-in start time).
  3. Fill out and submit the form to be placed in the queue.
  4. Remain logged in to Microsoft Teams. Academic Advising will connect with you through Microsoft Teams when you are next in line.
